Eating out can really sabotage a diet in a hurry!
It's pretty incredible. I did a paper a while back about cal dense foods and found out that the whopper (maybe double) stacks in a 1k calories! Never believed that a whopper was "good for you" but damn. They make such a big deal out of some things, but the old standby is a BOMB. You can drop the fry's and get a diet soda (or gasp...water) and it's still a BOMB. Holy calories!
