My wife has always been slim and doesn't mind treating herself to a calorie packed dessert on occasion. Her latest favorite treat is a large McDonald's Mocha Frappe. Last night we went we out and she sad that she wanted to stop and get one and said that I could get one too. I struggle with my weight, but I have been doing well with my diet and I love those things as much as she does. We both got a large one. I knew that it had to have a hefty dose of calories, but I enjoyed every sip, that is, until I got home and actually checked the calorie count. That one drink had almost 700 calories!! I am convinced that most of us don't have a clue just how many calories are packed into the food we eat. This especially a problem when we eat out. Like I said, I knew that the drink had plenty of calories, but had no idea just how many. I try to avoid fast food, but the calorie count problem is sometimes worse at nicer restaurants. I am not a big fan of government telling us what we can eat, but it sure would be nice to know what the calorie count is when it comes to the food we eat.
