Food Journal - 2nd day

Breakfast:
Philly Cheese Steak w/ onions and mozzarella cheese
Iced Tea

(I really, really want a diet soda!)

Lunch:
Grilled Cheeseburger w/ mustard/mayo (no bun)
Grilled Turkey Dog (no bun)
5 olives, handful of red and green peppers
AZ Diet Peach Iced Tea (3 servings total so probably 2 carbs or so...it's made w/ splenda, I was trying for no sweetner but no other ice tea was available and I didn't want to cave in and have soda...I just didn't want water)

Dinner:
4 Taco Bell tacos, just the insides scraped out. (surprisingly filling, also my son, who hates the cheese and lettuce, gave me his, too, nice little salad)
Iced Tea

Snack:
no food, just water

My tummy hurt a little after dinner...not sure if it was the taco bell or just the protein at work.

Actually I usually try to stick to the salads with no croutons and a full fat dressing. Though sometimes i really need protein and will give into the chicken, it only has 1g of carbs, it's just the long list of unpronouncable ingredients that bothers me. Why can't it just be chicken? Bunless burgers with no ketchup are a good option too at most fast food places like mcd's they're 100% beef.

Some places I avoid completely because there aren't many options at all..like any oriental type food and mexican (as you learned!). You have alot of different restaurants down there that we don't have here...you're best to check the nutritional info if theyhave it.

Tonight my husband wanted me to go to dinner at a fish and chip restaurant with him..now there's a place I'm definately avoiding! LOL.

Oh and aside from fast food places, when i'm in the US at places like Chili's etc, I usually stick to anything that doesn't have a sauce or overly spiced, and ask for a double order of veggies in place of potato. So things like Steak or chicken breast etc.

HTH

That's pretty much what I've done in the past, big n tasty's w/ no ketchup or bun, for some reason it was really really good! LOL I'm starting to realize that I can eat out, I can just eat a lot of salad and veggies! LOL
