And to think, if they just disguised it among some bread you all wouldn't have a problem with it.

I think it's gross because of chicken + cheese. I don't get that. Although chicken + mayonnaise is delicious.

None of them top a fried breaded jalapeno popper filled with cream cheese though. You lay out three dozen of those babies and I'm down.

I'm double down.

Yeah, people eat that much fried chicken all the time.  It's not like KFC bread would make it more healthy.

Me neither, and plus there's no way it's good cheese.  If it had a tomato or something in between... I'd probably get that.

Except minus the ham.

And of course the presentation. You can serve the same ingredients in two different ways, and in one way it's delightful and in the other way it makes your stomach churn like it's a pit of vipers riding out an earthquake.

Also cordon bleu isn't the healthiest dish around. And this is three cordons bleu at once. With French fries as side dish maybe?
Happy hearth attack.

Sonic has a burger- "In the mood for something new and juicy? Try a new Ched R Pepper SuperSONIC® Cheeseburger. We put our cheesy Ched R Peppers between two 100% pure beef patties. Then we added hand-sliced tomatoes, crinkle cut pickles, crisp lettuce, thick cheese and chipotle mayo for that extra little kick."

It's pretty damn tasty.   http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/

There's no way this list is for real.  Most of those fruits are loaded with sugar.

[Aqizzar]

Yeah, it sounds more like some vegan conversion pamphlet.  "You can eat all these awesome foods and you'll lose weight no matter what!  Just make sure they're plants and ya can't go wrong!"  I know goddamn well watermelons have more calories than they take to eat.  They're basically just sugarwater with a cellulose substrate.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Also turnips are basically like potatoes and parsnips. It lists turnip under both veggie and fruit :P

Green Beans are another one I suspect as false. Plus all those melons.

I'd suspect the fruits are all baloney, except maybe certain ones like lemon or cranberry.

But what if they include the caloric expenditure to harvest them? Not to grow it, but just to go out with a basket and pick them? At that point I think maybe the berries all get pretty close to zero.

But mainly, these are all standard foods. If we didn't get any food value from them, why would we have started eating them at all?!

I seem to remember that only celery and maybe a couple other ones were zero-net-calorie foods.

Actually negative calorie is a theory that states chewing and digesting foods that have certain elements actually use more calories processing than are contained within. It's a debatable theory but one that has a lot of traction. Celery is the one nobody disputes.

I dont think we're lost on what negative calories mean here.

Of the list Lettuce and Celery are the only two I know of that are negative calories.

[cganya]

on the topic of the negative calories, one needs to remember that the calculation to get to that outcome is hopefully based on an average person. people have different bodies and some are more efficient than others at burning calories. even doing nothing at all, all day causes larger people to burn more calories than smaller people. so smaller people might still gain calories by eating certain foods that larger people would not gain calories from.

I imagine that weight is also not the only factor (perhaps current state of digestive organs? fiber intake? general health?)

[LeoLeonardoIII]

The negative calorie thing is (except for celery and such) a crackpot idea.

Look at it this way: if you eat a candy bar, you will have to work out for like 3 hours really hard, sweating and screaming obscenities (every one burns 0.5 calories if you scream hard enough, and it promotes regular breathing) to burn it off.

So when people say that eating an apple might, somehow, result in negative calories, they are vastly overestimating the energy used in chewing and digestion, and vastly underestimating the number of usable calories contained in the apple.

A medium apple contains 72 calories. It would take about 3.5 minutes of vigorous bicycling or 24 minutes of moderate sex (which seems a little off to me) for a 250-lb person to burn that many calories. Digesting most foods costs about 10% of their caloric value, but protein can be up to 30%.

From my limited quick research here, it seems like the minor energy usage in digestion isn't anywhere near enough to burn off the entire apple, much less enter negative territory.

Strangely, turnip is about half the caloric value as an apple. A banana is about equal to an apple. Interesting, interesting.

[Jackrabbit]

Well, you know what they say. An apple a day forces you to have sex for 24 minutes unless you own a bicycle.
