Lose 40 Pounds in 80 Days
> COMPARING CALORIES IN FOODFor example:
When I knew that one slice of bread and butter has more calories than a Scotch and soda, I thought a moment. I found other comparisons, such as:
A sweet Tom Collins or Planter's Punch can have more calories than a sirloin.
A bag of peanuts, a bottle of beer, a bottle of buttermilk have about the same number of calories.
A sandwich and a candy bar are about the same in calories.
A sandwich has more calories than a filet.
Five French fries equal one small Idaho baked potato . . . or a glass of bonded bourbon or rye.
A glass of milk is the same as two Scotch and sodas - almost a bottle of beer.
Orange ice, if overly sweetened, can have more calories than vanilla ice cream.
Coffee with cream and sugar has more calories than a blend of bourbon or rye - the same as bonded bourbon.
Asparagus and celery have about the same low number of calories per stalk, 5 each.
Two pieces of fried chicken are the same as a whole roast chicken.
You can eat 2 scallops, shrimps or oysters (not fried) and not get any more calories than from one cracker or one French fry.
Black olives have less calories than green, since when they ripen some of the oil leaves them.
It's hard to gain weight on any vegetable - many dietitians say it is impossible. You can't hold enough.
A double-decker sandwich is often more fattening than an entire 89? blue plate luncheon, including the jello dessert.
A candy bar with nuts has as many calories as two bottles of beer.
A double orange juice is the same as a bottle of beer, two bonded bourbons, or a small filet.
You can drink nearly 12 cups of consomm? (if you can hold 'em) and equal in calories just one man-size bowl of cream of tomato, or only a cup and a half of split pea soup.
This could go on forever - forever shocking me as to my extreme lack of knowledge of what I have been eating for so many years.
