Obviously! I mean, they're 0 calories and you're still burning calories by gulping them down so... that's like what? -700, -800?

Now, the Sonic shake from the article may be 2090 calories on it's own, sure, but that's it just sitting there!

If you lift it before you sip, plus the suction of the sipping process itself, plus digesting the peanut butter, not to mention the whipped cream is dairy which we give to babies and it's super healthy, I mean.. cheese is dairy and the french are genetically skinny, so... like... the balance has to be what? like -4 calories?

You better get a burger with that so you don't pass out from the scootypuff ride to the restaurant.

BTW: I notice there's a lot of activity on Twitter with the hashtag #ObesityKills (including this story). It's a good hashtag to use....

Cooking at home has been known to be by far the cheapest and usually healthiest of diets for eternities. Problem is fats are too lazy to cook.

Healthy food isn't "too expensive" it's just too slow and requires too much effort,

Completely agree with everything you say here. Add to the fact that you control just what you put into your body and home cooking is the way to go.

if you add up the time it takes to drive to a restaurant, sit, wait, be served, wait, pay, and drive home, it'll far exceed the amount of time it would take just to cook something on the stove.

I live literally on top of a pizza place (my name is Philip J. Fry, you may know my dog Seymour), and I was feeling uber lazy today, but rather than ordering a pizza from downstairs, waiting for it to be ready, and bringing it back up I grabbed a chicken breast from the fridge, sliced a tomato, grilled them both on an electric grill (which may or may not actually be a panini press...), tossed some pepper on them and called it good enough.

It was my crappiest meal of the week, not super flavorful or anything, but it took me like 7 minutes to make, I doubt it was much more than, what? 250-300 calories? and it probably cost me like $2.

Had I felt even marginally less lazy, I have brown rice, quinoa, eggs, lettuce, onions, garlic, spinach, and who knows how much more stuff... not to mention a ton of spices... I could've very easily at least made it tastier with still minimal effort and without really raising the calorie count or price by an awful lot.

What I cooked today is an awful way to eat, and I would absolutely not recommend that anyone eats like this every day, I try to treat myself better than that, but I was feeling lazy and I made myself a quick, cheap meal in less time than it would've taken me to heat up a Hungry Man frozen dinner, let alone go out and eat at a restaurant.

People talk about the price and the work involved, but the work and price are there when I make beef bourguignon, but that's a treat. That's a tasty meal that I make when I feel like it, most meals (not what I cooked today, but real meals) can be done in a reasonable time at a reasonable cost... their excuses are just excuses.

It's like no effort the way I do it

Oatmeal to start the day, 1 min of prep 2 mins in microwave

10 boiled eggs, fill that pot with water let it cook throw em in and 10 mins later you done Simultaneously I get some pots to cook my pasta and rice which is no effort at all

Throw some nuts in there and my bulk meals are gtg

Really depends what you cook/eat. My meals yesterday (on a cut right now, so trying to stay under 1700): coffee, greek yogurt w/ granola and berries, coffee, store-bought hummus, pita, cheese, apple, coffee, chicken breast, seasoning, 10-minute instant rice, soy sauce, coffee. Of these, only the chicken takes anything resembling "cooking". I probably spent a grand total of 20 minutes in either food preparation and cleanup.

Or for the really, really lazy, there's Soylent, which is cheaper and easier than pretty much any alternative.

Wow actually had to look up what Soylent is. Has a bit too many carbs for my taste, but if you eat (or drink I guess) the right amount that's probably fine.

How does their pricing work, on their site it says $1.5/400 kcal which is pretty expensive

It looks nice but too many fats for my liking, if they threw in some more protein and less fats it would be amazing for bulking

The Subway one seems like a shit ton of food for one meal. I mean, all of it does, but that seems like way too much. And I'm the type who loves fast food.

Am I the only one who skips breakfast and eats a footlong as 2 meals? It's like you'd have to go out of your way to eat 2,000 calories of Subway (or McDonalds for that matter)

It's easier to get to 2,000 calories by snacking on stuff throughout the day instead of eating it all in one meal.

A double meat footlong is a single meal if you're a swole bro.

I mostly see people get that loaded baked potato as their main meal, too. I don't see it bought as a side very often.

It's weird that people always see fast food as the highest calorie options. I eat it more often than I should, and Imm nowhere close to fat. You just have to chose the right options, and there are plenty of options. It also helps that I tend to stay busy most of the day and have one big meal, so it's not like I have it for 3 meals in one day.

Well to be fair the author said that the Subway photo was a 'relative feast' and that you could eat there twice and be fine

I'm the epitome of a coffee and tea snob. I've tried a frappuccino once and thought I was drinking poison. Lol.

I watched a fattie at Cheesecake Factory the other day eat nearly an entire club sandwich and fries meal. If you've been there, you know their club sandwiches are really more like eight normal sized sandwiches. I even took a pic for my daughter of the fatass and her sandwich because it was so crazy.
