Hi ladies, I've got a question for you. We're getting a new stove and countertops installed in our apartment today and likely won't be able to use anything in the kitchen for dinner tonight.
I'm trying to think of something healthy to pick up on the way home that we can eat...any ideas? The best I've been able to come up with is picking up sandwiches or salads from a Wild Oats nearby, but I'd love to hear any other suggestions!
When I eat out, I try to go online first and look at the nutrional facts. If you decide to do fast food, you can see how many calories you will be eating.
Chinese! Mmm. You can stay away from the fried dishes, or what my husband and I often do is order a broth based soup like egg drop, hot and sour, wonton, subgum.... If they're overgenerous with the noodles, you can just serve yourself more of the broth.
I could never order chinese food... it would be too tempting to order my favorite (VERY FATTENING) dishes.
Any sub sandwhiches are a good "easy and cheap" idea.
Or order in from your favorite healthy restaurant, you can get broiled chicken with a baked potato.
Usually chinese places have some kind of steamed veggies dish. Other than that, I agree that the salad bar at the supermarket is a good idea. We have a local pizza place that makes low-cal pizza options . . .
The sandwiches or salads from Wild Oats sounds good. You also may want to look around, because sometimes they have pre-packaged dinners in there that are pretty healthy.
This will answer all of your questions...here is a cool link (maybe you all have seen this, I'm new so I'm not sure...) It tells all the calories in almost every chain restaurant fastfood...goodluck!
take-out dinner ideas?
