No low fat low sodium and low calories for fast foods

Today I have a lot of fun. My cousin sister from Sekinchan come to visit me. She is driving her new car - a gold colour Toyota Camry. She drive us to go for lunch.

Because she is from small town, she always love to go to fast foods restaurant whenever she come to KL. So even though I don't really enjoy fast foods, I always accompany her to eat. But this time I choose the restaurant, which is Kenny Roger Roasters. Actually I choose Kenny Roger not because the food is very delicious or anything, but it is because they say that the food is low fat, low sodium and low calories.

You may be wonder why I think about calories when I write a flog! But actually I am worry because many floggers I meet are all fat. So I also afraid that I will put on weight from keeping this flog. So I try and eat healthy when I can.

So we order the 1/4 chicken, and 3 sides with the famous corn muffin. Me and my cousin sister have the same taste so we order the same side dishes. We order coleslaw, pasta salad and cucumber and tomato salad. And we also share a pilaf rice. All are very delicious. So we polish off everything from our plate including the delicious chicken gravy. I also love the corn muffin, which go very well with everything.

So we go home feeling very full and nice. But when I check on the internet on the number of calories that we just eat, I am shock! The meal which I just have is 1100 calories! And it have too many gram of fat and sodium. Thats mean that if I count my whole day limit of 2000 calories, I eat 55% of it in one meal (the website I see is using a total Daily Value of 2000 calories, and some fat and sodium formula which the US government use, and the number you see below for DV is mean % of Daily Value).

The calorie are coming from:

1/4 chicken (I like drumstick and skin) - 270 cals (14% DV), 26% fat DV and 22% sodium DV

coleslaw - 225 cal(11% DV) 25% fat DV, 12% sodium DV

tomato cucumber salad - 125 cal (6% DV), 3% fat DV and 33% sodium DV

pasta salad - 230 cal (11.5% DV), 18% fat DV and 13% sodium DV

corn muffin- 163 cals (8% DV), 9% fat DV and 10% sodium DV

rice pilaf (1/2 portion) - 88 cals (4.5% DV), 4% fat DV and 6% sodium DV.

So all in all is 1101 cals (55% DV), 85% fat DV and 96% sodium DV! I am really shock! How healthy is that? So I realise that the actual tagline is "lower fat, lower sodium and lower calories" and is not the same as "low fat, low sodium and low calories". Now I understand why people who eat a lot of fast food usually not healthy. People say that Kenny Rogers go for plastic surgery -thats why his looks change so much, but maybe it is change because he eat too much of his roasters roast chicken and side dishes!
