For me they would be very, very high. Like 2-3 days worth.
But I am obese and focused on losing weight.

For a man, for an active woman or simply as a treat they could be much worse.

That's true, but I probably won't get to eat again for another three hours.

Oof. I just calculated my favorite item at Chipotle--chicken soft tacos with green salsa, cheese and lettuce.

Calories 649
Calories from Fat 242
Total Fat 27.5g
Saturated Fat 9.5g
Cholesterol 126mg
Sodium 1558mg

Without cheese, the numbers aren't much lower. What the hell are they putting in that chicken?

I think Chipotle chickens are all brain-fed.

I don't know if those numbers are high or low.

Clarification please. I could possibly see how 48 grams of fat would be a "very, very high" value, one you would normally spread over two or three days. But are you saying that 1060 calories is two to three days worth of caloric intake for you?

350 calories a day? That says "hunger strike" or "malnutrition" to me.

Having said that, I am very happy to see your success! Congratulations!




I am just not willing to cut my throat like that.
