11 Dec Real Talk | Cheeseburgers vs Fish Sandwich
Two pieces of bread. Cheeseburger. Yeah, 660 calories. All right. Well, that’s protein. That’s quarter pound of protein. That comes out about right. About 400 calories with, you know, 30 grams times three or four, where we’re looking at 120 grams of protein times four, 480 calories is what we’re looking at. All right. So that’s about right. 660 calories. Then you look over at the fish sandwich, 1200 calories.
What the hell happened there? Well, wait a minute. The bread didn’t change. The protein contents the same. There’s no difference in calories between a quarter pound of beef and a quarter pound of fish. They’re both pure protein proteins. Protein’s four calories per gram. Can’t make it five. Can make it three. They’re the same. Maybe it’s that tartar sauce you were putting on there and you thought you were doing something healthy.
Well, you kind of were until you got to the tartar sauce. That’s when you screwed it up. You’re no longer doing something healthy. You’re better off to have two cheeseburgers than one fish sandwich. That’s the myth of weight.
