So you’ve heard this catchy song making it’s debut during Lent?  

How much fish is in this famous sandwich and what are you sacrificing by eating it?  This slice of cheese on a white, refined bun topped with a breaded, fried little bit of fish with a blob of warm tarter sauce dripping over the edge?

Cheap to buy…but how much is it really costing you?  Almost 400 calories – about half of those calories from fat, 19 grams of fat – 4 of which are saturated, almost 700 mg of sodium and almost 40 grams of carbs.  Sounds like a dangerous way to get 16 grams of protein. 

My suggestion?  Follow the lyrics and “give them back their Filet O’ Fish”. 

Call ahead to your favorite restaurant for an actual piece of fish and a side of veggies “to go”!  Much lower health cost.
