12/01/2007: "Good News for McMuffin Lovers"

music: i wana hurry home to you
mood: working on saturday, WTF FTW?

I have the same aspiration everyday when my alarm clock rings at 7 am - Today will be the day that I actually get out of bed at 7 am and get out the door early enough to stop by McDonalds and grab the value meal that comes with 2 Sausage Egg McMuffins, a hash brown and coffee. Yes, I dream about that kinda stuff and in talking to some other friends, I am not alone.

Thankfully my aching body usually tells my alarm clock to go fuck itself and the internal debate of whether I want to get out of bed goes on for an hour until my better self wins and I get out bed at 8 am. So no McDonalds, no living the American Dream, which is fine, because a bowl of Grape Nuts is probably better for me anyway.

However, I did find this list today over at The Consumerist listing The 272 Fast Food Items Highest In Calories. A quick search for "sausage" reveals that the McMuffin is nowhere on the list. After further research I found that the Sausage Egg McMuffin (with cheese) is only 370 calories. I'm no nutritionist and I will assume that 370 calories for a breakfast sandwhich (740 for two, in my case) is a lot of calories, but it sure beats Hardee's MONSTER burger (1420 calories, no joke), which I've only eaten once in my life, which almost killed me. Seriously, never eat a MONSTER burger. Not even on a dare.
