McHealthy?
Muck was just telling me how yummy the KFC "Famous Bowls" are, so I looked up the Nutrition Facts thinking I could save myself a trip. 720 calories (PDF) isn't exactly diet food, but 531 grams seemed like a pretty significant serving size.
Since I don't frequent KFC, I needed to find a comparison I was familiar with - enter the McDonald's USA Nutrition Facts. Since I have nothing better to do, I loaded the menu into my first ever Google Spreadsheet. Sadly, it does not appear that you can publicly share GeeSheets yet - so I published it on my first ever ZOHO Sheet.
The bowl is only 1.38 calories per gram, a whopping 60% less than a small fry. All this typing is making me hungry, I wonder where I can get one of my own?
PS: It hurts to type b,f,g,r,t and v because I burned my left index finger starting last night's campfire - perhaps more on that in another post...

In May we had the Bowl (no cheese) in Culpepper, VA. It was freaking fantastic. At first, it seems gross that you pile all that stuff in a bowl and eat it.
Then you realize that if you go to KFC, you're gonna eat chicken, corn, and mashed w/ gravy so what's the dif if you eat it in one bowl or spread out in a compartmentalized plate. Same thing, same calories.
The cheese confused us though - nothing else on the KFC menu contains shredded cheese (that we could tell) so why add it to the bowl? Do fat Americans need a few MORE calories? Or is the inventor of the bowl from WI? :)
