To Upgrade or Not To Upgrade?

December 31st, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

I have this new iBook, well new to me, there is no such thing as a new iBook of course.  It has 512mb of ram, a 1.33ghz G4 processor and OSX 10.3.9…  I want to upgrade it to 10.4.6.

That means, upgrading the ram and the operating system.  And lucky me, Mizzou gives you Mac OS for about half price and the ram is half the Apple price too! It will be $200 to upgrade, I just need to figure out if it is worth it.  I am not sure how much I will be using the computer but I find myself more and more inclined to carry it with me than my Dell laptop.

Disgusting Facts

So, I thought I was doing sooooo great.  I ate a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, two cans of light, low sodium tuna for lunch and then for dinner, at freaking midnight, I go to Jimmy Johns and get a sandwich.   I have always believed that Jimmy Johns was healthy.  Ummmm. not at all.  It’s basically the same as getting a burrito from Moes!  Almost exactly the same nutrition facts.  I am thoroughly pissed that I ate that sandwich.  I didn’t need it by any means, I could have just gone to bed but I was hungry and didn’t want lunch or breakfast all over again.

Let’s look at the chart below… If you break all the data into three meals, the sandwich has…

Jimmy Johns Breakfast and Lunch Total
Calories 882 658 1540
Fat 43 7 50
Sat Fat 10 2 12
Cholesterol 107 99 206
Sodium 2272 390 2662
Carbs 74 48 122
Protein 46 96 142
Fiber 6 8 14

Twice the calories,  twelve times the fat, ten times the saturated fat, twice the cholesterol, twelve times the sodium, three times the carbs, almost the exact amount of protein and lesser so, fiber.

Beyond the last two items, protein and fiber, the sandwich is INCREDIBLY less healthy.

But still, only 658 calories for my entire day would be way too low, it’s what I had yesterday.  I am going to spend some time later today figuring out a better diet plan, no more Jimmy Johns!  I am adding some broccoli to my diet haha, among other things.

I am even reconsidering the nutrition of sushi.  I think the information I used to have on the nutritional value might have been way off.  That really blows because I am in love with sushi.

Ugh.

Finished!
