Guest guest Posted September 1, 2001 Report Share Posted September 1, 2001 > Why are all fast foods good for the DS patient??? > > i Hiya i! Having just finished reading " Fast Food Nation " , I wouldn't say fast foods are " good " for anyone, not even DS patients. I don't eat fast food now and I won't after surgery unless absolutely necessary. Fast food is " good " for a DS patient in that DSers don't absorb as much of the fat calories as someone who hasn't had surgery. I was curious so I did a comparison between a Whopper and a burger I would make at home. The only positive I could see to the Whopper (aside from convenience) was 5 extra grams of protein and 191 extra milligrams of calcium. BTW, I worked at Burger King in high school. I can assure you they do not give you a 3oz beef patty. Their own web site says 2.6oz, and that's probably before cooking. =) - Burger King Whopper w/ Cheese w/ everything 785 calories 33 g protein 48 g fat 55 g carbs 1635 mg sodium 250 mg calcium 300 mg cholesterol 3oz extra lean ground beef, 2 slices of whole wheat bread, catsup (or ketchup?), onion, tomato and lettuce: 362 calories 28 g protein 16 g fat 32 g carbs (from everything but the beef) 299 mg sodium 59 mg calcium 71 mg cholesterol (from the beef) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
