Bye, Bye Hollywood Sign... at Least Temporarily [Updated]

Real quick, how many calories do you think this measly lunch would be?
What you have is my (yes, a first-person post - call the authorities!) typical lunch:
- one half of a Jack in the Box Chicken sandwich - i give the other half to the IRS just like my paycheck
- a bowl of canned peas (99 cent store whoot whoot - two cans for 99 cents)
- and a half dozen Hershey Kisses (thanks ma)
- washed down with a huge bottle of water
So calculate how many calories you think this lunch is and we'll see you on the other side of the jump...
OK each of those portions is 200 calories or 10% of your daily caloric intake if you want to simply break even each day with your weight. Which means that this lunch would be 30% of what you could scarf in a day.
The Wise Geek has produced an excellent post of other samples of What 200 Calories Look Like and some of it is shocking, particularly since I like to munch on dry Rice Krispies all day under the assumption that it's super low-fat and therefore "healthy". Not so fast. Even snap crackle and pop calories add up.
Which means, sadly, that you actually have to eat right AND work out to get rid of that beer belly.

Hey why don't you give credit to digg you lazy ass!
ron,
probably because we didn't find this off Digg.
but keep trying to police what we write here all you want. it amuses us.
Calories...what are those?
Shocking, isn't it - how quickly those calories add up.
That's why I suffer through the gym almost every day, although I still have to watch what I eat as of late.
I've gotten into the gym much more than I ever thought I would in my middle age (early 40's... ok, old age) I think I'm finding that the one thing in my life that I can exert some control over is my own damn body. This after 20 years of a pack a day (3 years clean) and continued bong hits.
as long as the guy has a charming personality, i don't mind a hairy gut. especially when faces are drawn on it using the bellybutton as a mouth. mmm, sexy.
