Costco Food Court Calories

Costco is a chain of huge warehouse stores that offers bulk pricing to the public. In addition to bulk goods, Costco offers an increasing number services for its customers. Some Costco stores sell gas, have a bakery, and even do photo processing. One of the more common warehouse features is the Costco Food Court. On a recent trip, I looked around for nutrition information, but nothing was available. I finally found stuff on the internet and decided I needed to put this somewhere to find it easier next time I look. Here are the calories:
| item | cal. | fat (g) | chol. (mg) | Sodium (mg) | fib. (g) |
| Costco Chicken Caesar Salad | 670 | 40 | 135 | 2680 | 7 |
| Costco Chicken Bake Sandwich | 770 | 25 | 115 | 2310 | 2 |
| Costco California Churro with Cinnamon and Sugar | 410 | 18 | 0 | 610 | 3 |
| Costco Hebrew National Hot Dog (includes bun, ketchup, mustard, onion, relish & kraut) | 550 | 34 | 70 | 1630 | 3 |
| Turkey Wrap | 810 | 38 | 85 | 2570 | 7 |
| Costco Slice of Cheese Pizza (1/6 of a pizza) | 700 | 28 | 75 | 1370 | 3 |
| Yogurt | 390 | 0 | 10 | 280 | 0 |
| Fruit Smoothie | 290 | 0 | 0 | 45 | 1 |

| Nutritional Guidelines (Daily values listed on U.S. nutrition labels) | 2000 | 65 | 300 | 2400 | 25 |
I also found the same information for the Chicken Caesar Salad.

I’m adding a second line to our home for a fax machine. This should be interesting. I’m buying a Linksys PAP2T-NA two line VOIP adapter. This will be used with our existing internet access along with http://www.teliax.com to add the line. The cost of the adapter is about $50 and the number from Teliax is $5 a month. I will let you know how it works when my adapter is delivered.

On Black Friday why go out and fight the big crowds and cold temperatures when you can stay home and shop from your warm home wrapped in a snuggie all on your computer.
