You know, this old lady, I don’t always know what I put in my mouth. But my grandson, he’s always on that phone, he told me I gotta watch what I eat. Something about “calories.” He says it’s how much energy is in the food. Lord knows I need energy to keep up with these young’uns. So, I’m trying to figure out this whole calories in a double sausage and egg mcmuffin thing.
That double sausage and egg mcmuffin, oh boy, it sure does taste good. Two sausage patties, that’s what makes it “double”, I reckon. My grandson, he looked it up on his phone. Says it’s from McDonald’s. They got these things called McMuffins. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it’s just a breakfast sandwich, really. But a tasty one, that’s for sure. It has all the good stuff – egg, cheese, and not one, but two sausage patties! This double sausage deal, that is what make it so special, I think.
My grandson, he’s a smart one. He says there’s a whole bunch of these “calories” in that double sausage and egg mcmuffin. He was saying some number… six hundred and something? Or was it four hundred? Shoot, I can’t rightly recall. He said it’s a lot. He also talked about the regular one, that only one sausage. He said it has some calories, too, but less than the double one. That makes sense, I think.
- One sausage McMuffin has fewer calories.
- Double sausage McMuffin has more calories.
- Calories is energy, my grandson says.
He kept going on about “carbs” and “fat” and “protein.” Like I know what those are! He says the double sausage one has a lot of fat. Fat makes things taste good, that’s what my mama always said. But too much fat ain’t good for you, he says. He also mentioned something called “carbs.” I think he said it’s like… fuel for your body? Like gas for the tractor, maybe? I don’t know about all that. All the “double sausage and egg McMuffin” related things, the “carbs”, “fat”, “protein”, “calories”, they are just too much for me.
And protein! He says that’s good for you. Makes you strong. Says the egg in that McMuffin has protein. Well, I know eggs are good for you. My hens back home, they lay the best eggs. Fresh eggs every morning, that’s the life. These city folks don’t know what they’re missing. But I guess that McDonald’s egg is alright, in a pinch.
So, this calorie thing. It’s like, if you eat too many of these “calories,” you get bigger. Like old Bessie, our cow, after she’s been grazing all day. And if you don’t eat enough, you get skinny, like that old scarecrow we put out in the cornfield. You gotta find a balance, I suppose. That’s what my grandson says, anyway. He’s always telling me to eat this, don’t eat that. It’s hard to keep up! I just like the double one because it is so good!
He showed me some numbers on his phone. Lots of numbers about this double sausage and egg mcmuffin. Said something about “nutrition.” Like I’m supposed to know what that means! He mentioned “fiber” too. That is good for your digestion. That means, it keeps things moving along, if you know what I mean. These are just things around “calories in a double sausage and egg mcmuffin”, but I can not remember a lot.
It’s all a bit much for this old lady. I just like to eat what tastes good. And that double sausage and egg mcmuffin, it sure does taste good. But maybe I should listen to my grandson. He’s a smart boy. Maybe just one sausage next time. Or maybe not. We’ll see. After all these “calories” and “nutrition” thing, I think I should have a try of that McMuffin.
- Double sausage and egg McMuffin tastes good.
- Too many calories make you big.
- Gotta find a balance, my grandson says.
- Maybe I should listen to him.
But that double sausage, though… it’s mighty tempting. Two of those greasy patties, all that melted cheese… Maybe I’ll just have one. For now. A double sausage one. Don’t tell my grandson, alright? It’ll be our little secret. It is just so good. And I will just enjoy it. But I think I will not tell my grandson about this time’s double one. Maybe next time I will try that one sausage one.
This whole calorie counting thing is more complicated than tending to a whole flock of chickens, I swear. But that double sausage and egg McMuffin sure is delicious. Maybe I will try the regular one next time. That will make my grandson happy, I think.
