Shavuot is 50 days after Passover (the 6th of Sivan) and the word Shavuot means âweeksâ because it is 7 weeks after Passover. The Torah tells us that we celebrate this holiday because of the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. In Exodus chapter 19 and 20 we are told that HaShem gave us the commandments.
While calories may surpass 1,500 for the ultimate breakfast platter, breakfast combos generally offer less than 1,000 calories in total. However, breakfast items frequently exceed 1,000mg of sodium. Adding cheeses or upsizing to medium or large drinks substantially increases both calorie and sodium intake.
But when it comes to alcoholic drinks, sometimes the calories don't register, even though a single chocolate martini has more calories than a McDonald's grilled chicken sandwich. In fact, 1 gram of alcohol has 7 calories, compared to only 4 calories for a gram of carbohydrates or protein. And calories add up even more quickly for mixed drinks than for beer and wine. The standard 1.5 ounce serving of 80-proof alcohol has 96 calories even before you add any mixers. A 6-ounce serving of orange juice has 84 calories, but add a shot of alcohol to make it a screwdriver, and the calories more than double.
