Ledom - yes, isn't it amazing when you look that stuff up? That was the one way I was *finally* able to get DF to stop eating so much fast food - by showing him how much fat and calories the stuff had. I think it's good to be informed - at least that way when you choose to eat that food, or maybe have to, then you know how to count for it.
We tend to stick to Taco Bell when and if we have to eat out. Several of their items can be ordered "Fresco", which means no cheese or sauce, and with a tomato/onion/cilantro salsa on it instead. Two chicken soft tacos this way is my usual, and I think they are 170 calories a piece. Pete gets three of them. Not so bad for fast food, eh?
Or, if I go to Wendy's, I get just a small chili, or maybe a small chili and a plain potato.
Those are the only ff place I'll go to - the rest just don't have anything worthwhile for me - yes, they have some salads, but I never find them filling enough, and the dressing choices are all loaded with sugar!
I think it's fine to work alcohol into your weekly plan - I always did with BFL, and it was fine for me. Again, it's all about counting those calories. I usually have a couple of glasses of wine on Friday night each week, and I factor them into my daily total.
We are headed down to the City today - going shopping for wedding bands! I'm pretty excited because we get to go to the designers showroom as my local jeweler is in the process of moving. I'll be like a kid in a candy store, and that won't be good!
We plan to hit a Trader Joe's while we are down there as well - I love TJ's!
A break in the weather for us today - 50 and partly cloudy - literally the calm before the storm that will hit us tomorrow
Have a good one!
Cindy
