I have a Costco that is walking distance from my office. If I need to decompress, I walk to Costco for lunch solo, get a hot dog and a slice of pizza, sit down, and watch both the people and what's in their cart. It's so diverse and pretty fascinating.

Hot dog and a slice? That's your calorie needs for the day.

If I eat just a hot dog or just a single slice, I'll still be hungry.

Eating a hot dog and a slice, or two slices, and I won't be hungry...for an hour or two.

...I need to get a doctor and ask about a GLP-1.

Unless you are particularly sedentary, 1200 calories is pretty low for daily consumption.

I'm thinking their hotdogs are huge, like 1/2 lb?

And the slices are huge also.

And most people probably get a 32oz cup of sugar water with them.

Maybe I'm overestimating.

Fair, I did leave out the soda that comes with the hotdog. But that could be a diet soda. (and seems to frequently be, given that my local Costco has 4 diet coke spouts, as opposed to 1-2 of any others)

I did look up the calorie count for both. 550-ish for the hotdog, 650-ish for the pizza.

The hot dogs are 1/4 lb, with the bun it's probably 500-600 calories.

LOL, don't mess this up for me.
