FOOD for THOUGHT
Tuesday, November 04, 2008 14:53Hungry, Famished? Wow, you certainly can woof down that meal you’re eating. We know you need it – You want to fuel the brain cells for those tough decisions at the poker table. Boy! This stuff tastes good.
Ah! Now that I’m full and contented, I can sit back down and win, win, win. Good meal or is it?
Let’s test our taste buds and see exactly what we just consumed. It’s not like knowledge or is it? Oh, yes, we maintain knowledge in our memory. So guess what we just stored what we ate in our bodies.
Hey, remember in poker you go with the ups and downs, the swings, so called. With all the calories, fat, and cholesterol is it possible we just ate a loaded lunch? Even eating healthy can be heavy.
Chicken sandwich – 320 calories Caesar Salad – 190 calories Soda/Sprite – 130 calories that’s a total of 640 calories.
Cheeseburger and fries - kids’ size – 610 calories Sub/sandwich 6 in double meat Italian – 630 calories.
McDonalds double quarter pounder with cheese – 740 calories and a heart clogging 155 milligrams of cholesterol. But, nothing beats out Burger King triple Whopper with cheese – 1230 calories, 82 grams of fat, 275 milligrams of cholesterol.
Remember, most nutritional information maybe on the food wrapper or posted somewhere in the establishment. So I guess the old adage applies “you are what you eat”.
With just a little research you can find out exactly what you are eating. Just like when you have a poker question and do the RESEARCH. In this way, you’ll be able to finish this great game of poker and come out a winner.
Oh! Excuse me is this cholesterol heaven? No, just the clogged artery playground, thanks but no thanks .... YOU DECIDE!


I don't eat when I play poker it takes me off my game. I prefer to be starving a little.
