News from The Gap®
This feature of the newsletter highlights some of the outrageous
calorie examples confronting us today. Remember... although The
Gap makes weight and health management more challenging, the support
of the HMR Program can help you to achieve your goals in the face
of these obstacles.
Hardee’s recently rolled out its new “Country Breakfast
Burrito” – a portable breakfast wrap that consists
of two bacon, ham, sausage and cheese omelets, hash browns, and
gravy. It takes an enormous blanket-sized tortilla to hold it all
together. It checks in at 920 calories and 60 grams of fat!
According
to a company representative, “We don’t try to hide
what these are. When consumers go to other fast food places, they
feel like they’ve got to buy two of their breakfast sandwiches
or burritos to fill up. This is really designed to fill you up.”
For
comparison, you could have a MUCH healthier (yet still filling)
HMR Shake and/or Multigrain Hot Cereal for breakfast....and still
have calories to spare for the rest of the day!
