Taco Bell calls their $5 box of poor nutrition a "Touchdown." I call it a turnover.
Yeah, I know, Taco Bell's largest demographic is boys under age 18. But, we do have a youth obesity issue. And I saw a post where a high-school athlete thought consuming this box of..."food" was OK since it comprised only 1/3 of his daily caloric requirements. What? Does his coach or trainer not educate him about what good athletes put in their bodies? See: Terrell Owens:-Salmon and asparagus.
At about 1800 calories, 70 grams of fat, 247 grams of carbs, and 4080 mg of sodium, the turnover box is chock-full of badness. For a 30- year old, 180 lb. man who is lightly active, the box supplies 70% of his daily caloric needs. Plus, too much fat, waaay too many carbs, and 1.7 times the RDA for sodium intake.
Such a deal!
If you have to go to Taco Bell ( in some weird place where there are only Taco Bell's), at least get something from the Fresco menu . It might save you from fumbling away your health.
