I didn't realize how many calories the cakes at Cheesecake Factory have.

I needed to pick up a prescription at Target which is in the Topanga Mall. There's a Cheesecake Factory there. I wanted to buy my girlfriend a piece of cake to eat when she gets home from work. Most of the slices are around 1,500 calories! They are huge slices. I did buy her a slice of the carb free cheesecake which is only 810 calories.

Jump on a treadmill and see how long it takes to burn off those calories. It feels like you did enough to cover half a cheese cake but it’s only enough to cover half an apple.

ate the cheesecake, and pushed the truck home.

Would THAT equal the calories?

My wife and I walk and exercise nearly every day. But we still watch what we eat.

The skinnylicious menu is actually merely normal.

You really have to split entrées or just eat half and plan on leftovers.

Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken = 2,590 calories
Carrot Cake = 1,690 calories
Cucumber Lemonade = 250 calories
__________________________________________
Total calories = 4,530

Just think, you eat that single meal and you don't have to eat for two whole days!
