Your Choice: One Fast Food Meal or a Full Day of Meals, Snacks, and Treats?

For fun and science, I tracked my daily intake yesterday for my entire day of meals, snacks, and treats. I was quite surprised at the total calories and discovered that I really should be taking in about 1000 more calories. I already feel like I’m eating a ton of food every day. I eat steak, chicken breasts, lots of veggies, some fruit, snacks, and even have a small treat every night.

I now know that a single large-sized meal at McDonald’s is pretty close to my daily intake. So, I created this chart just to visualize the crazy comparison.

• My entire day of meals and snacks: 1736 calories
• McDonald’s large-sized lunch: 1610 calories!
• Starbucks white chocolate mocha: 700 calories!
