In an effort to break away from cooking/baking boredom, I made quiche on Saturday. Sure, it's rich, but if I couple it with a salad, is it all that bad? Well, apparantly it is all....that....bad.
After eating a slice, I decided to calculate the calorie count of 1/4 of the quiche. Now keep in mind that it's a 8.5 inch tart, not a pie, and there isn't a whole lot of filling, so 1/4 slice is a moderate size. Certainly not large by any means.
Unfortunately moderate in size doesn't mean moderate in calories. I calculated that one slice of bacon arugula quiche has a whopping 750 calories. Who knew?
What I don't understand is that I am hungry 3 or 4 hours after eating a slice. I had a 1/6 slice for breakfast, which I calculate to be about 500 calories, as well as an orange, and I'm already hungry. It's only been two hours!
What's up with that? Is it possible that I overcalculated the calories?
Nevertheless, I will not be making quiche again. I'll stick to milk-based crustless but still good fritatta.
On a positive note, the only sugar I had yesterday was a couple of bites of chocolate. I did well overall, taking in about 1800 calories. Still need to drink more water.
