[Food] KFC Double WTF.

Today, I ventured forth into a pit of madness. Piercing shrieks reverberated around me, the ululating wails punctured by pained grunts and the dull thud of metal on flesh. The sharp stink of fear pervaded the area, the wide, anxious eyes of hunted beasts flutter over every face, seeking pity, even solace, in another's eyes.

This horrible den of insanity. This dungeon of physical trials and tribulations, where friends are pitted against each other in fits of superiority and testosterone addled rage.

That's right, I went to the gym.

So maybe I'm exaggerating a little... sue me.

The point is, working out makes me hungry, but also makes me tired. The problem? When I'm tired I don't feel like cooking, but I'm still hungry.

Do you see the viciousness of this cycle? The irony of my predicament?

It's due to this that I once more stumbled upon what might either be one of mankind's greatest achievements or conversely, worst disasters. While lying on the couch watching ads on the Food Network, I saw...this.

Now some of you might jump right off the bat and condemn it to fiery hell, but slow down there buttercup. Let's think this through a little.

Sure it might be greasier than the greased up deaf guy, with the original having 32 grams of fat and the grilled version having 28, but it has its good points too.

They both pack a whopping ~53 grams of protein, and since it lacks a bun, it also lacks any significant carb content.

Which means it's actually a perfect concept for the high protein, medium fat and low carb ketogenic diets that bodybuilders and basically anyone looking to pack on some muscle follow.

Now I say "concept" primarily because KFC doesn't exactly tell us the amount of additives and other crap they pack into this sandwich. Added to that, the double down has a huge 1380 mg of sodium, nearly your daily recommended intake. It's probably because it has 2 slices of f****** bacon tossed in there as well.

So, while this is a good idea, you probably shouldn't rush to KFC to gulp one down after workouts, since it's still junk food. However, in all fairness, I should point out that at 540 calories (original) and 460 calories (grilled), the double downs actually are a better choice than a big mac, double quarter pounder, or just about any big sandwich on any fast food menu. Hell, the grilled version is actually close to most of McD's supposedly "healthy" salads.

However, being Niron, and therefore awesome, I decided to make my own version of this beast.

Here we have, the gourmet Niron down:

There you have it folks, 2 grilled, seasoned chicken breasts, 1 slice of Monterey Jack and 2 slices of ham. All done on a George Foreman Grill with no added oil or preservatives and a much lower salt content.
Give it a try instead of the actual KFC double down, it'll be much better for you, and to be honest, Antigua doesn't even have them yet, so you'd have to make your own anyway.

If they ever get here thought, they need to have the Code Red version. Definitely. I would totally buy that shit.
