how often should one eat a philly cheesesteak? i feel like the answer is “almost never” given the high amount of beef + cheese (calories, fat, etc.)
typical philly cheesesteak is like… 800-1600 calories from what i can tell and not very much nutritional value. am i being dramatic?
- MiscIdeaMaker99 4y agoAs often as you feel like.
- MuffinFlavored 4y agoIsn't there strong evidence in obesity + heart disease cases that this is a poor decision?
- red-iron-pine 4y agoCheesesteaks don't happen in a vacuum. What's your breakfast look like? Dinner? Wake up and shovel donuts into your face, and then pack a bunch more carbs and fat at dinner and yeah that cheesesteak will definitely help kill you. Eating mostly veggies and reasonable choices + a couple of cheesesteaks a week and you'll be alright.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoDepends. Do you sit on your ass all day long, or are you working physically hard outside?
- xboxnolifes 4y agovery dramatic.
- organsnyder 4y agoAn occasional cheesesteak won't kill you.

- leviathant 4y agoWhen I worked in old city Philly, I'd get one (a pizza steak for me tyvm) probably twice a month - in between the halal cart, pizza, wraps & frites from European Republic, and a nicer lunch from nearby restaurants on Friday.
- camdenreslink 4y agoYou can have a large meal every once in a while without large negative health effects. Just limit your calories the rest of the day and don’t do it all the time. Also, I wouldn’t say it has little nutritional value…it’s full of protein and carbs (which are nutrients).
- MuffinFlavored 4y agoI guess my question was from a stance of, Philadelphia is famous for their cheesesteaks. How often are the residents that live there truly having a cheesesteak? Once a month? Three times a week?
- lchengify 4y agoI would say Philly is famous for it's food generally. Philly is one of the best places in the northeast to get high quality food at reasonable prices. Especially sandwiches. Speaking strictly for myself, it's like a game day thing, but when I was younger it was up to twice a week. If you get full you can eat half and stick the other half in the fridge. Now a days if I'm doing a steak later in the day, it means I'm skipping a meal beforehand. I'll also ask them to add vegetables so it makes you feel full faster. The big differentiator isn't really the calories but the cost. Like other Philly food, it's very affordable for not being fast food. It also gets cheaper if you order it in batches for parties, and it keeps super well so there are always leftovers. Because of this you just see it around Philly a lot.
- MivLives 4y agoDepends how old you are and what you're doing with your life. The construction workers might eat one several times a week from a cart. An office worker might only eat one late at night as 2 am food after the bars closed. When I was in college there maybe once a month. The under appreciated chicken cheese steak is probably worse for you.
