What's the calorie count on half of a falafel wrap from Roti Grill? (a whole one is far too filling).

Until I fucked up my back, calories didn't really matter because I just ran them off.

better downsize your beer consumption to 3oz a night!

I'm thinking gose, at half the ABV/calories, is going to be my go to style instead of DIPA.

Just got a sixer of Off Color Troublesome (one of the brewers is the former barrel guy at Goose Island), which may be the only gose/berlinerweisse to come in a six pack (?). If it's good, I hope they continue to ship to our market and this wasn't just a one off.

So yeah, it's a good thing I bring homemade leftovers for lunch each day.

i just created a 750 calorie veggie burrito sans cheese, sour cream, and guacamole, of which an actual consumer would get at least one of if not two or three (which pushes it to 1150).

A mcdonalds Big Mac is around 550-600 calories I believe, and could be less if you leave cheese off or neglect to eat the bun – options which only exist in the same bizarro world where someone leaves cheese and sour cream off their burrito to get it down to a "healthy," "slender" 750 calories.

There is no way Chipotle is a healthier option than a salad, baked potato, normal sized cheese burger, or normal taco at Taco Bell.

There is an insane amount of salt in Taco Bell food.  I would never eat it.  At least Chipotle tastes good.  I don't put cheese or sour cream on my chipotle burrito but I realize it is not the healthiest option.  750 calories isn't that much if you have a light breakfeast.

If you must know, I avoid dairy-based ingredients, and get guac instead of beans.  5'11", 158 lbs.

Sounds like Julian is just a giant fat ass.

Did you miss the part where I don't eat at any fast food places aside from the occasional sub restaurant'a veggie offering in a pinch?

I was banned from here for years for promoting a lifestyle a morbidly obese boardie objected to as "teasing."

Wow you are too skinny. You should probably get the dairy and the beans.

I don't get your concepts.  I have extra large bones so I think the federal government states that I can be up to 200 pounds at my height.  So at 200 pounds and being 6' 2" I could eat a sensible breakfeast and a 750 burrito for lunch and dinner and not gain weight with a light activity level. 

All this talk of Chipotle has gotten me very hungry.  All I had for lunch was Yogurt,fruit and some almonds.  And I swam laps after that.

You've heard virtually nothing of "my concepts." I'll be glad to enumerate them posthaste as soon you upload a report from a doctor verifying your "extra large bones."

My wife claims to be "big boned" as well. Perhaps it's part of her need to be part of the cultural zeitgeist. I never took her to be part of the school of atomic.


I'm 5'9" (5'8.75" after my accident) and have pushed north of 170, and she still calls me "frail".

According to this (and every other similar tool online http://www.healthstatus.com/perl/calculator.cgi :

"According to your height of 5' 11" your ideal healthy weight is 160 pounds. Your recommended weight range is between 143 and 178 pounds."

I would argue that someone with muscles could be 5'11" and well over 178 and still be healthy (and look good).

5'11" 143 for a guy might be considered healthy, but it sure aint pretty. (I say this as someone who was once 5'9" 143.)

You measure the width of your bones in your elbows and your wrist circumfirence to deterimine your frame size.  Obviously if you are muscular have big bones, broad shoulders you can weigh more and still be healthy as opposed to someone who is smaller framed.

For once, I totally agree with you!

Was just trying to illustrate that at his height and weight he is well within acceptable limits.

I'm 5'11" as well. about 165.  At almost 43 I can honestly say I'm in some of the best shape of my life.

Do what thou wilt, but for me, I feel so much better when I'm taking care of my physical body.

Live long and prosper, every single one of you.

There is a guy at my job who is 120 and 5' 9" it is hard for me to not demand his lunch money.

Whilst plummeting my darkest depths I was about that skinny.
