Shavua tov! If you're a typical Shabbat-observant Jew (not that I am typical about anything), you probably spent today eating - a lot. Here's a quick breakdown of what I had today:
Kiddush Club during shul: cholent
Kiddush after shul: more cholent
Lunch after kiddush after shul: gefilte fish, assorted salads, bbq chicken, chicken shnitzel, kugle, and, of course, cholent.
Those who went to seudah shlisheet (the third meal in between afternoon and evening prayer services on Shabbat) had even more nosh.
Guess what? According to this article, "A study in the journal Obesity reveals that people eat an average of 236 more calories on Saturday than on any given weekday."
Two-hundred-thirty-six calories? I wish all I had today was an extra 236 calories. I wonder what the statistics are for Shabbat-observers? Big meal Friday night, kiddush at shul, big lunch, seudah shlisheet, and then it's time for dinner. No wonder Saturdays are such high-calorie days.
Speaking of which, it's time for dinner. Wonder what's in the fridge?
I'm usually most shocked by how much sugar and salt I take in. Wine and cake kiddush followed by more wine, some kind of tomato salad with mucho salt, potato kugel that seemed to have a bunch more salt, and... well, after that second glass of wine, I can't remember what else I had. Hmmm... Tomorrow? Low salt soup. Definitely.
