Question of the day – what would you like for Lunch?
I’m absolutely chockers with the amount of food I’ve eaten this past few days so something light please.
What about an Egg and Bacon sandwich?
Light I said – that’s almost a meal!
Bet there’s as many calories in an Egg and Lettuce sandwich as there is in a Bacon and Egg sandwich!!

Interesting isn’t it
As expected the calorie count as well as the fat count in the B&E sarnie is higher
But there are more carbs and less protein in the E&L Sandwich
Low Carb diet or Low Fat diet – which is it to be?
Unfortunately it is the combination of the fats, sugar and sodium (salt) that we also have to take into account 😦
Anyway just for today we ended up having the unhealthy ‘tasty’ option 🙂

That is quite fascinating. I shall feel less guilty when I am out and have a bacon and egg butty, and I don’t know how I will feel when my partner makes me a curried egg and lettuce sandwich.

Blow the calories, that all looks delicious! I love bacon and egg sandwiches Cathy. Glad to see you have HP sauce down there in Oz. When I was living in America, I had to search for it!

At the moment I am virtually living on left-over fruit salad. A christmas tradition of mine.
A fascinating breakdown of the egg/lettuce/bacon dilemma though. Thank you.
