Burger King

so last night i got a bacon cheddar ranch burger from there, only i got it dry, and threw out the bun...i ate the lettuce tomatos, bacon and cheese and meat...i gained a pound over night, i think they put something in their meat

It could be the sodium. If you go to the burger king website, they have a nutrition calculator that will give you the food values. Look up your burger and see what exactly goes in it and what the sodium content is.

eww 490 mg of sodium...that sounds like a lot...is it?

[not2late]

Yeah that does sound like alot. Especially if you eat other salty foods like bacon, sausage, etc. for your other meals.

Lay off the salt, drink your water and see if that 1 pound goes away. Remember you need to eat about 3500 extra calories in order to make 1 pound of fat.

Also, I think the cheese they use there is the processed kind -- not real cheese, but Velveeta-type stuff. I don't think we're supposed to eat that.

correct me if im wrong...but I think all cheese that is individually wrapped is processed. And I know for sure that they don't use velveeta, because it has a very distinct taste to it and I for sure wouldn't have eaten it, I abhor velveeta.

Oh boy, too much sodium has got to be the worst!! I can always feel it in my waist the next day if I've had too much sodium, which is why I avoid it. In fact, even my tuna fish has only 90mg for the entire large can. I get them at the health food stores, along with low-sodium diced dill pickles - these products are pretty much the only way I can enjoy tuna salads. I just do not like a lot of salt.
