Anyone else love Moe's as much as I do? If you've never eaten there, it's a Southwest Grill. Every Monday it is, "Moe's Monday." This means you get any burrito, chips/salsa, and a drink for $6. As per usual, I went there after my gym workout. However before I went, I checked out the nutritional facts. I actually love this option on their website Moe's Nutrition Calculator . Click on the picture of the salad and you will be able to select exactly what you get. I'm not sure what the specific portions are, and I couldn't find anything on the website about it. But, I usually get a Joey Bag of Donuts. After checking the website, I have discovered that my average Monday lunch is 1,310 calories. That does not include the soda that comes with the meal (I learned today that water is not included in "Moe Monday").
After about thirty minutes of playing on this website, I finally went to Moe's and got a Joey Bag of Donuts. However this time, I got it naked, which they call streaked with steak, black beans, pico, lettuce, cucumbers, corn fired salsa, and a pinch of mixed cheese. This equally approximately 360 calories (give or take). However, I was thoroughly disappointed. A naked burrito lacks the gooey goodness of all the flavors pouring into your mouth in one bite. I'll have to play around with my options there, because I really do like Moe's. But it's just interesting to see, a simple burrito equals a RIDICULOUS amount of calories.
Tomorrow marks one week since I started this project. I'm going to weigh in. Today, I'm really hungry, and I've been feeling hungry all day. That's my only complaint.
that's all the cheese that makes all those calories, no doubt!
