    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

    and that's not even close to being the worst offender on their list.

    There is a Venti Hot Chocolate with whipped cream that goes over 2000kcals - that's more than anyone is recommended in an entire day!!
    Fifth time's a charm...?

      Unless you're on soldiers' Arctic rations, and that takes you up to 8000Cals a day!

          Ordinary British Fieldrations have 4500 Cals per day.

          I would guess US rations would be be about the same.

          But you have to be putting the work in!

          Incidentally, field rations are the one area UK beats US - US rations are AWFUL - any GI will tell you! I have only eaten them once.
