We went out to Buffalo Wild Wings because we got our tax return. If you've ever been, it's a trap of deep-fried-everything covered in sticky sauces. But I googled some choices before hand, and I figured out how to eat healthy there, and I did not feel deprived at all!
I had 4 naked chicken tenders ~170 cal. (And these were ahhhhhhhhhhhhmazing, next time I'll go ahead and get 6 they're so healthy)
Slightly less than a whole veggie boat with fat free ranch ~80
Iced tea with splenda ~0
1 piece of garlic chicken flatbread ~150 (comes as a whole "pizza")
And 1/3 of an order of fried pickles ~250 (normally would have eaten the whole thing, but limited myself to 6. Glad I did, didn't know how bad they actually were :p)
So yes the whole meal ended up around 600 calories, which is a lot for one meal, but it was at least, *at least*, half of what it normally would have been. And now I know what to order next time, and just control myself a little better and not let Gary order pickles AT ALL. :p
I imagine his meal, which is pretty representative of what I would have normally eaten like, was 1500 calories or more. For one meal. SO yes, I did have a lot of calories, but I'm so pleased it was still a completely reasonable amount and not an entire day's worth in one meal!
It's inspired me to stay on the wagon today too.
Hugs, I hope you've had some triumphs lately!
