How appropriate that my site this week is CalorieKing.com – its database of food and the calories they contain can be pretty eye-opening and helps to explain the widening of America’s collective bum. As I munch on my freeze-dried Lean Cuisine, let’s take a gander at some of the site’s culinary revelations:

- That bag of McDonald’s French fries calling your name at lunch? Think twice, as a small typically costs about 300 calories, not counting all the salt.
- A glass of red wine, even after a long day at work, still counts as 125 calories no matter how tough your boss was.
- This one makes me a little ill – a slice of my fave Carrot Cake cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory will set you back 1010 calories.

Ugh, my low-cal lunch isn’t looking so bad, after all.

Happy feasting until next time! Thank you to Captivate’s own Jacqui Pini over at her Indulge blog for the tip!
