I was at McDonalds with 2 hams from work 2 workmates, let's call them Moon and Planet asked me out to lunch today. They said they want to go to a certain mall for some burgers, I said yes because in that mall there's a place just next to McD and BK which serves the most amazing chicken salad ever. Once we got into car however, they decided they'd rather hit the closer McD place, so this was what I was stuck with. Oh well, I thought. Calories are calories. I need some because I'm skipping dinner tonight because I'm meeting some friends instead and going to the gym straight after, so this would have to be my main meal of the day. This is an European McDonalds, so it might differ a bit to what's available at your place, but anyways I got a Big Mac, salad, diet coke and chilli cheese tops. Grand total of 864 calories. I had four bananas for breakfast, and I plan to have 2 scoops of whey after gym, so that's about 1600 calories for the day in which I'll have an hour of cycling and about an hour and half of gym. I arrive to our table, and I have to sit either next to the Moon or the Planet. The choice was simple, so I took the less painful option and sat next to the Moon. Moon looks at my plate and smiles. "TWO burgers!", he exclaims mistaking a box of chilli cheese tops for a burger. "And I thought I'm eating a lot". He was eating a huge clubhouse burger, large fries and large regular coke. Calculator says 1345 calories. It does make some sense though. Apparently even when eatbeasts think about calories, they think only their main dish counts. I guess that's part of their condishuns. I pointed out that large fries and coke are about as much calories as that huge burger, while a salad is far less. I got an "umm yeah", apparently that info is too much triggering for a fat brain to process. BTW, the Planet ate 1696 calories. Big Mac, Royal Cheese, large fries, large coke. He didn't get a comment about quantity from Moon. Both of them had large breakfasts, several milky/sugary coffees, snacks at work, and I don't think this is everything they'll eat this day. P.S. Moon seems physically exhausted from the effort of walking to and from his car, he just complained about it and said it's enough physical activity for him for today. I actually chuckled :,D
