Tim numbers

I've been doing a bit of research for the nutrition component of the bootcamp website and got curious about the actual stats for take out.  Summerland doesn't have a whole lot of fast food options, which I guess is a good thing.  I tend to choose Tim Hortons when I do partake so I looked up some of the food ideas and thought I'd share (and scare).   The fat & sugar  in a lot of these is astounding.  They have a calculator on their site to see other foods.

Coffee:

Black coffee: -
Large with cream:  70 cal, 6g fat
Large with milk:   20 cal, 1g fat

Hot Chocolate Supreme (med):  330cal, 10g fat, 49g sugar
Hot Chocolate (med): 240 cal, 6 g fat, 38 g sugar

Iced Capp (med, cream): 360 cal, 15 g fat, 47 g sugar
Iced Capp (med, milk): 220 cal, 2 g fat, 46g sugar

The difference between a large original iced capp with chocolate milk and a small original iced capp with white milk is 160 calories!


Breakfast:

Breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg and cheese on a biscuit: 430 cal, 24g fat
Same thing on an English muffin:                                        330 cal, 15g fat
Egg & cheese on English muffin:                                         280 cal, 11 g fat
Egg & cheese wrap:                                                           270 cal, 14g fat
( I like this one without the mayo, don't know what the stats are for that)

Low Fat Blueberry Muffin:  290 cal, 2.5 fat, 32g sugar
Wheat Carrot Muffin:  400 cal, 19 g fat,  26g sugar  yikes.

Oatmeal with mixed berries:                                           210 cal, 2.5 fat, 14g sugar
Low fat vanilla & berry yogurt:                                      160 cal, 1.5 fat, 25g sugar


Lunch:

BBQ  Chicken Wrap Snacker - 190 cal, 4.5 g fat
vs.          Turkey Bacon Club - 390 cal, 18g of fat

If you skip the sauce the BBQ would be even lower but they don't have stats for that.  A  sandwich bun alone is 200 calories!


Snacks:

Timbit, old fashioned glazed:  80 cal, 5g fat, 5 sugar
Chocolate dip donut:  260 cal, 10 fat, 20g sugar

That's a lot of junk in 2 bites!  I can't believe how often I've popped in that "little" snack without thinking.
