Our work cafeteria has some delicious food; I usually just stick with the self-serve salad bar, but today I noticed a smoked salmon salad was available. The demo salad had no sauce on it, just a triangle of toast with a dollop of cream cheese (easy enough to avoid). Well, I felt like a bit of a treat, so I decided to splurge my money on a fancy salad. I love me some salmon!
The demo salad LIED.
Imagine my horror when the salad server ladled about a half cup's worth of Italian dressing onto my gorgeous salad.
I decided not to make a fuss, thinking "maybe I can splurge my calories, too," but I just input the amount into FitDay and my head exploded.*
Moral of the story: ALWAYS ask about sauces, even if you think there are none, or you'll end up like me: paper-towelling the dressing off each piece of spinach while your coworkers look on with horror. :P
*It also makes my head explode to realize that it wasn't too long ago that I would have obliviously chowed down this huge caloric amount! Thank goodness for FitDay...
