I want it now

Re: calories...as you might have heard, fast food places in NYC have to post calorie counts for everything on their menu. I guess the idea was to discourage people from overeating, but all the time you see adds for Whoppers and Big Macs with "1200 CALORIES" in big bold font somewhere near the middle, like they're saying "look how many calories you can get for just $3, you broke bastard."

Yeah sodium is really really far down the list of things to worry about if you meet the following criteria:

1. don't have blood pressure issues
2. get lots of exercise

Since just about all of the H&F forum meets this requirement they tend to rag on people for watching their salt intake. But if you're 45, sedentary, and obese you might want to do what your doctor tells you.

FWIW I'm getting one of each the first day they're available. Low carb high protein FTW.

To those who are fat, and hiding their true feelings of self worth behind humor here's a tip. Take the two halves of skinless meat bun, add a side of vegetables and you have two lean meals for the price of one. The bacon can be kept in your wallet for use as an operant conditioning tool should you find yourself embarking on any unusual strenuous walking throughout the day.

I'm definitely going to have to try one of these.

As far as tons of calories for cheap, can't beat TB, there you can get 550 calories for $0.89 in the beefy 5-layer burrito!

It's available grilled or fried, and cheese and bacon are no problem either. We are talking about freaks who drink GOMAD.

This looks so bomb. I'm counting down the days until it's out. I mean seriously, meat with more meat, and gooey cheese, how can you go wrong?

How big is it? Is it big enough to be a meal on its own? Nutrition guide says the fried version has 11g of carbs, grilled only 3g. Definitely trying it, hope it's at least average.

If the crappy KFC near me does not have them I will make my own custom doubledown by buying burgers and rebuilding them better faster meatier.

But yea, I understand the point.

Yes, I know sodium doesn't necessarily mean bad. Maybe I should have said "the fat will kill you".

It doesn't look appetizing to me. Chicken breast can get tough, and even if it's not, it's not conducive to being the outside of a sandwich like soft bread. Then you have the messing middle...this sandwich is just going to be a mess. I'd probably just unravel the whole thing and eat with a fork and knife. But I doubt I'll get this sandwich. It's probably like 5 bucks anyways.

hehe, no
