WOW! Really! Who would of thought???

Hey Everyone!! Happy Monday!! Here are a few little amazing facts about some of the things we LOVE!!

1. Artery Crust
Judging by the label, Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie has 520 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat. But look again. Those numbers are for half a pie. Eat the entire pie, as most people probably do, and you're talking more than 1,050 calories and 24 grams of sat fat (more than a day's worth)


2. Triple Bypass
Can't decide what to pick from a restaurant menu? No worries. Now you can order not just one entrée, but two...or three...all at once. Olive Garden's Tour Of Italy—Homemade Lasagna, Lightly Breaded Chicken Parmigiana, and Creamy Fettucine Alfredo—comes with 1,450 calories, 33 grams of saturated fat, and 3,830 milligrams of sodium. Add a breadstick (150 calories) and a plate of Garden-Fresh Salad with dressing (350 calories) and you've hit 2,000 calories (an entire day's worth) in a single meal.


3. Salt's On!
Progresso Traditional, Vegetable Classics, and Rich & Hearty soups are brimming with salt: Half a can averages more than half of a person's daily quota of salt. Instead, try Progresso's Healthy Favorites reduced-sodium soups. All the flavor, but up to 50 percent less salt than other canned soups..

4. Extreme Ice Cream
An average container of Häagen-Dazs ice cream squeezes half-a-day's saturated fat and a third-of-a-day's cholesterol (egg yolks) into your artery walls and makes a 300-calorie down payment on your next set of fat cells—if you can stop at a petite half-cup!

5. Factory Reject
The Cheesecake Factory Chris' Outrageous Chocolate Cake has "layers of moist chocolate cake, chewy brownie, toasted coconut pecan filling, and creamy chocolate chip coconut cheesecake." Each five-inch-high slice weighs three-quarters of a pound and has 1,550 calories and 32 teaspoons of sugar. By the time you hit the exit, your arteries have 43 grams of saturated fat circulating in them that they didn't have when you walked in. It's a though you had ordered three McDonald's Quarter Pounders for dessert.

6. Smooth Operatos
"When you're looking for a healthy snack, try one of our Snack Right smoothies," says the Smoothie King web site. Many people assume that all smoothies are good for the body, whether it's on the beach or in the office. But Grape Expectations II, one of Smoothie King's "Snack Rights," contains 550 calories in the 20-ounce size. That's bad enough. But what about those who order the 40-ouncer? There's nothing "right" about a 1,100 calorie snack!

7. Top Secret
Popcorn alone is a good-for-you whole-grain snack...but not when Pop Secret gets hold of it. Pop Secret Movie Theater Butter Popcorn Snack Size Bags has 9 grams of bad fat, 6 of which are trans, in just one snack-size bag (6 cups popped). Instead, try Orville Redenbacher's Smart Pop or Smart Balance Smart 'N Healthy, both of which are made with no partially hydrogenated oils.

8. Starbucks on Steroids
Caffè Mocha with 2% milk and whipped cream is more than a mere cup of coffee. Think of it as a McDonald's Quarter Pounder in a cup. Few people have room in their diets for 410 calories and 10 grams of saturated fat that this hefty beverage supplies. But you can lose all the bad fat and all but 130 calories if you order it with nonfat milk and no whipped cream.

9. Tortilla Terror
Interested in a Chipotle Chicken Burrito (tortilla, rice, pinto beans, cheese, chicken, sour cream, and salsa)? Think of its 1,050 calories and 17½ grams of saturated fat and 2,610 mg of sodium as two 6-inch Subway Steak and Cheese, plus a scoop of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey Ice Cream! Getting the burrito with no cheese or sour cream cuts the saturated fat to 6 grams, but you still end up with 830 calories and 2,400 mg of sodium. Yikes!

10. Stone Cold
Into the chocolate-dipped waffle bowl of a Cold Stone Creamery Gotta Have It Founder's Favorite goes, not just a 12-ounce, softball-sized mound of ice cream, but pecans, brownie pieces, fudge, and caramel. The tab: a startling 1,600 calories and 42 grams of saturated fat. That's roughly what you'd get if you polished off five single-scoop ice cream cones.
