In case you need some statistical (slash numerical) motivation… This information is meant to be fun so use it however you want…but don’t make yourself crazy. It’s just food. If you pass on pumpkin pie because it takes “26 minutes to burn off those calories” I will be semi-angry with you. But if you pass on 3rd and 4th servings of pumpkin pie because of this info, then I support your self-control. 🙂
How does he eat? Is he vegan too? If I had a nickel for every time someone asked that question…well…I wouldn’t quit my day job or anything, but still, it happens a lot.

The star of my lunch was…wait for it… Leftovers!! How’s that for anti-climactic. Predictable. Anyhoo. Sorry my eats have been so repetitive over the last few days, but I’m trying to clean out the fridge before we leave next week. Only one week ‘til Kyle and I are off to Buenos Aires!!!
