serge 904 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Because it's better than eating heat lamp flat hamburgers. I don't eat it call the time but once in awhile it's fine and eating a taco from tB is healthier than a whopper or Big Mac or double cheeseburger Definetely is ..If you can stay away from the Supreme and the fries.. I must admit we frequent Mcdonalds a lot, because its very kid friendly and my 2 year old wont eat much else...I know I know bad parenting. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ok after the AHL draft.... I propose we all go drinking then make a huge Taco Bell run... Lets knock out about 50 DLTs... Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Because it's better than eating heat lamp flat hamburgers. I don't eat it call the time but once in awhile it's fine and eating a taco from tB is healthier than a whopper or Big Mac or double cheeseburger Is it? Seems like if you equate portion size, it's probably not much different. Both have the same pre-re-warmed 'beef' and an unhealthy starch. I was surprised at how litte calories were in the Taco Bell stuff, but you can't really compare a big thing to a small thing. I can't imagine a DLT is much healthier than a single McDonalds burger, and about as filling. Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 3 fresco tacos ( replace cheese with a pico) are healthier for you than the three I mentioned. Also it's not pre pre whatever beef. They cook the meat fresh each day and even make the refried beans themselves as well. The chicken and steak are a little gross. Yes I worked there.

Zach6668 513 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 I was going to get DLTs for lunch, but the lineup was like 20 people deep so I decided not to wait. I did hang around the lineup for a minute to see if anyone recognized me, though, but no takers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I'm playing in a hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens on Sunday. That is so cool. Also, I'm going to get one of these taco, and then curse you all after I eat it. Taco Bell=KFC=McDonalds.....10 minutes later, oh ya, thats why I never eat this stuff, its gross. Cheers!

Also it's not pre pre whatever beef. They cook the meat fresh each day and even make the refried beans themselves as well. The chicken and steak are a little gross. Yes I worked there. What do you mean by cook? Do they get red, raw beef in, and someone fries it up? Then what happens with it? I don't think I want to know... 3 fresco tacos 450 calories 32 g fat Big Mac and med fries 930 48g fat 3 tacos fill me up just like a Big Mac meal. 500+ calories is significant to me Those fresco tacos wouldn't do anything for me. Though a lot of the difference in calories comes from starches, which is significant. Bread calories are useless. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I can't do the fresco tacos...if I'm going to eat Taco Bell (which is rare anymore) I go all out. And then hate myself the appropriate amount for a reasonable interval. Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I do t care if they do anything for you. You claimed that it wasn't as healthy and I showed you an example. I can show more. It's been you know like written up by people that places like Arby's and Taco Bell have healthier options than the 19 fast food joints you claim are better. When I go there I get a taco supreme and burrito supreme. But there are much healthier options. They have fresh ground beef. As with all fast food it's higher fat content beef since fat makes beef taste good. Who fries beef? They cook it in a pan add water and sauce mix (that you can even buy in a store) and stir and cook it no differently than you would at home making tacos. Curious what other weird ways there are that you're thinking of. With beans they take actual real live pinto beans and throw them in a pressure cooker for hours. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The Taco Bell smothered burrito is pretty epicly awesome, I've only had it once because I decided if I had it again I was going to move into a Taco Bell and have them for every meal. Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 And beans are like the healthiest thing you can eat. Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Frying generally requires oil. We used water. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 It's still frying. You're using the fat from the beef as the "oil". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_frying Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Ok. I concede. Then other than frying I'm still curious how else one is too cook the beef per dans comments above. Its ground beef and not a hamburger so grilling it is out if the question. Boiling it? Ewww. Poaching it? Ewww. Link to post Share on other sites
iBeaver 409 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Oh browning it. That was the term we used. Link to post Share on other sites
