Another level broken.
I feel like I have control over a aspect of my life I've had no control over in a while. I was adrift in a sea of instant gratification. I was addicted to fast food.
I'll always return to that damn Sausage McGriddle as the symbol of my addiction. There are no Mcdonald's in the town I live in. I think the city has it in for them. We have all the other chains, but no MickeyD's and no Walmarts.
I would have to drive out of my way to score a McGriddle. I'd get up early just to make it before they stopped serving breakfast. The mix of salt and syrup plus the tang of the sausage made the perfect taste explosion in my mouth. Here are the stats for my perfect food:
McGriddle
420 Calories
200 Calories from Fat
22g Fat
44g Carbs
11g Protein
A single 141g sandwich represented 25% of my Recommended Daily Intake of 1700 Calories. Add another 50 calories to that because I would often order it with cheese for that extra salty kick.
This addiction was madness. The McGriddle is something that was cooked up in a lab to meet all the pleasure centers of the human brain. It is a masterpiece of diabolical purpose.
I salute the technician who brainstormed this product just as I salute those who use their powers for good. Like the tech who cooked up the Vegan Tofurky Italian Sausage.
Here are it's stats:
Tofurky
270 Calories
120 Calories from Fat
13g Fat
12g Carbs
29g Protien
This comes in at a more reasonable 16% RDI and the fat it contains isn't animal fat. Granted, if you add a wheat bun those numbers climb a bit, but it's far more filling than a McGriddle and just as tasty. I had just one of these for dinner on the 4th. That would have never worked with a Mcgriddle.
It's all about control. I'm getting mine back. It's awesome.
