NYT: What 2,000 Calories looks like

New York Times: What 2,000 Calories looks like.

Takeaways:

  1. Make your own meals,
  2. Skip the sugary drinks,
  3. Comparing apples to oranges is horrifically unfair: Potbelly’s sandwich was a “big Italian sandwich” (looks like a 12″) with mayo weighing in at 1,088 kcal, and Subway’s was a 6″ cold-cut combo without mayo for 375 kcal. But Subway’s 6″ Italian BMT starts at 410 kcal; double that for a 12″ and add a tablespoon of mayo (110 kcal) for 930 kcal!
