mmm it just made me hungry!!

lol my bad! I was already hungry!

BAH

As a calorie counter I HATE fast food. It is so ridiculous the number of calories they seem to be able to stuff into meals!

Even a kids Happy Meal has 700 calories! If you were to make the items on your own at home, the nutritional value and the difference in calories is astouding.

HWGA- I LOVE ur new pic!! soo silly makes me giggle a little

lol thanks! It's the mood I'm in now, so I thought it would be best to reflect it and I just like this pic of me and my brother. lol

hot- I know! It's so crazy, but I thought it was cool that they had the "healthier" alternatives.

Which is why I totally HEART subway but stopped eating it because of the HUGE amount of sodium I found that they had. Like...1000 for a 6 inch turkey!

all I can say ladies is that I totally HEART south beach diet...it has taught my body to not CRAVE so many things are soo bad for me! and if I want a piece of chocolate or something I have it but everything tastes to sweet to me now that I only need a tiny bite

They have good ideas in that article, but it somehow makes the whole "fast-food" ideal fizzle out when you have to remember all the things that you should be doing to cut HUNDREDS of calories.

And then you find that you could have done a much better job at home that would have tasted better, been more satisfying, and considerably cheaper.

.... i haven't had fast food in a long while because of this. lol

btw, HWGA, LOVE the pic. too cute.

Interesting. Its simple really - avoid anything fried and opt for grilled. Omit sauces, cheese, mayo and choose salad or veggie sides over fries or potatoes etc
