News from The Gap™
Dinner for Breakfast
This feature of the newsletter highlights some of the outrageous calorie examples confronting us today. Although The Gap makes weight and health management more challenging, the support of the HMR Program can help you achieve your goals in the face of these obstacles.
Having “dinner” for “breakfast” seems to be a growing trend! Following the success of its recent fried chicken biscuit promotion, Hardees® has introduced a new breakfast item: The Pork Chop and Gravy Biscuit. For $2.99, this will start your day with 680 calories and 42 grams of fat. McDonalds® has also jumped on the biscuit bandwagon by creating the Southern Style Chicken Biscuit, with 470 calories and 24 grams of fat.
It’s clear that there is no time of day that is safe from the effects of The Gap! In the same amount of time it would take to get to a fast food restaurant and order one of these breakfasts, you could whip up an HMR Shake, add a piece of fruit, and start your day with a filling breakfast that is just a few hundred calories, and provides much better nutrition.
