I have a Costco that is walking distance from my office. If I need to decompress...

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

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.

hotdogs are 1/4lb, sodas are ~22oz

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.

LOL, don't mess this up for me.

The food court is where we can all be ourselves.

When I shop early I salute the people having breakfast in the food court. One afternoon I saw people at a table with an empty rotisserie chicken package, hittin' their macros. I had my baby with me one time, offering him bites of my hotdog and being praised for being a man spending time with my child as if I had vaccinated a needy village.
