yesterday landon and i went out for a late lunch/early dinner with a friend and my mom at applebees... i ordered the soup and salad without checking the calories first (BIG MISTAKE)... the half salad was 600 calories!! i ate a little more than half... and decided to skip the soup all together since i had a light lunch before going to the restaurant.
however, i was hungry again around 7, so tim created a low calorie dinner to satisfy the feeling... he made turkey sandwiches on an english muffin with a homemade avocado spread... the whole thing ended up being about 240 calories. this was much better to finish off the night with than a bowl full of ice cream.
Weigh day tomorrow... hoping to see at least a one pound loss on the scale since last wednesday's big drop!
Have you ever been super surprised by the amount of calories in a food?
I gave my students an assignment to look up the calories, fat, etc in their favorite eating out meal. One guy had a Red Robin meal of 3700 calories!
