The grad school my mom works for is hosting visitors this week, which means a lot of extra food, particularly boxed lunches ordered in case anyone extra dropped in for a meeting.
They order 5-6 extra lunches per meeting. Three meetings a day. With eighteen lunches left over, Mom decided I needed one, too.
Fine with me; I didn't mind eating a large roast beef sub with chips and a wonderful oatmeal raisin cookie.
Till I looked on the side of the box: over 1,000 calories? For LUNCH?!
Now, I used to obsess about counting calories and my weight, but I've backed off immensely and generally don't think about it these days. But 1,000 calories for lunch when someone my size needs about 1,900 per DAY to maintain? That's crazy.
Note to self: when entering the "real world" this fall wherever Jay and I end up, avoid the work lunches or watch my waistline balloon!
