Fast Food

spectrachic311 said: "Yeah, I can't stand most fast food either anymore. Too much grease. And yeah, I used to love Quarter Pounders w/ cheese and breakfast burritos. Now if I'm forced to eat fast food, I opt for Subway or a grilled chicken salad (most places have something like that) with no cheese. It's funny too because when I cook for my husband, I don't use much fat. So now when he eats fast food, he thinks it's way too greasy too."

Left a really strange taste in my mouth and my tummy did not like it much either. I do enjoy Wendy's big salads that they offer now, my fav was the chicken and feta cheese one that they had last summer. I sure hope they get it back this summer. Blimpie makes a good salad and sandwich rolls. I love that place....a little too much :)"

We have no breakfast food, so i went to McD's to get an EggMcMuffin (300 cals). It was SO nasty! I've been making similar sandwiches at home, so i guess i'm used to something not as greasy (and mine taste better w/less calories!). Think i would learn my lesson right? Today is school day for me and we really don't have any fruit or anything at home for me to bring to eat in class. So for lunch i go to Arby's. I get a BLT and, brace yourself, mozzerella sticks :eek: . Yum, right? Wrong. Blak. These were really nasty and i used to LOVE Arby's mozz sticks. Too much grease i suppose. To make things worse, i forgot to say no mayo on my BLT. Now, i have been eating mayo since i started this lifestyle change. BUT i've been eating fat-free mayo (10 cals/2 tbsp). That mayo was so yucky. I felt like i was eating pure fat. So god knows how many calories i consumed for a not very pleasing meal. I ate almost all of it because i was really hungry, but i'm not doing that again for a long time!! Now i'm going to go work out for an hour. Try to burn some of those calories up!"
