JJ 3: Breakfast

O-M-G. I am LITERALLY in shock right now. So after finishing my breakfast, which consisted of 2 fried eggs, 1 slice of turkey breast, 1/2 slice of American cheese, 2 slices of white bread, mayonnaise, ketchup, and Tapatio*,  I decided to do a calorie count for it.  I had never done that before, so it took me awhile to figure it out.  As I was figuring out the calories for each individual item, I was naively thinking this can't possibly amount to much, it's not a that big of a meal.  Boy was I in for a big surprise.  Altogether, my breakfast consisted of approximately 695.5 calories!  Yes, that's right, almost 700 calories!!  Which means that if I am trying to do a 1200 calorie a day diet (not quite sure that I am... yet Lol), I only have 500 left for snacks and dinner.  WTF?! Lol

Here are the calories for each item:

• 2 fried eggs (this includes the oil used to fry the eggs) = 268
• I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but I had no idea oil had so many calories!! Lol
• 1 slice of turkey breast = 30
• 1/2 slice of American cheese = 17.5
• 2 slices of white bread = 100
• Mayonnaise = 120 (!)
• Ketchup = 100 (!)
• Tapatio = 0

I had no idea condiments were so much!! And I am a BIG fan (no pun intended) of condiments. I love ketchup, mayo, mustard, etc.  What am I supposed to do now??  MB, I need you!! Lol

*This might sound like a weird combo of ingredients, but I made it into a sandwich similar to what you might find at Denny's or IHOP.  Kinda looks like this:
