I was amazed at the selection of food they had. Sure there were a few not so healthy dishes which I stayed away from even though I had the calories to spare BUT I knew they were high in sodium which I try to steer clear of. My favorite thing, aside from the low cal carrot cake, was the protein. Most times you'll see sloppy joes, finger sandwiches, meat and cheese trays or whatever for the protein ... but instead of all of that ... the girls made up chicken pieces on skewers and grilled them ... on the each skewer was 3 ounces of chicken cut up ... ( they had that as the portion size with the calories on the card ) and then they had little cups of different dipping sauces (with a calorie card ) sitting around next to it so you could pick up one of them if you wanted something on your chicken other than just plain grilled. They really took the extra time out to make one of the hardest parts of any gathering, the food part, simple for those of us on diets.
