Naturally – Jimmy wasn’t eating a very healthy diet in the first place, so he was getting a high amount of calories, a low amount of nutrients, and a low to moderate level of “fullness” from his meals. He decides he needs to lose weight, so what does he do? He eats half the sandwich and keeps the soda.
