A food I will NEVER eat again


There's nothing more eye-opening about the food you eat than finding out exactly how many calories are in it...

So there I was, working some overtime today at Rescue 2. I had to come straight from station 28 this morning, so I had no time to stop anywhere for breakfast. "No problem, I'll just pick it up later," I thought. I was going to go to this diner, but they were closed. IHOP was practically right next to the diner, so I figured I'd go there and get my favorite omelet, the "Big Steak Omelet." This Omelet comes with three pancakes, and I knew that I'd be really full after I ate it. So I eat it, feel really full, and eventually decide to check out exactly how many calories this Omelet has. Here are the results from calorieking.com: Total fat - 87g. Total Cholesterol - 910mg (303% of the daily value!) Saturated Fat - 35mg. Sodium - 1840mg. I had a feeling the numbers would be high, but I had no idea they'd be OFF THE CHARTS. Let's just say some repentance will be happening right here, right now. IHOP, it's been fun, but you and I (at least the Big Steak Omelet and I) are THROUGH.
