Eating Out & Choosing Healthy

I've got a couple suggestions for you as far as eating out goes. We would all be naive to think we could cook every day for the rest of our lives. But why give up all your hard work for a night out on the town or a quick lunch in between appointments? Try these-

 

If you look on the website of Jimmy Johns they have an awesome way to find out nutritional information. You can 'X' stuff off to see how much the fat, protein and carb count go down with each ingredient and then be sure that your chosen meal is healthy. So if you get the Unwhich which is just a lettuce wrap you can even have some of them for dinner. One that I tried and really liked last week was the Beach Club Unwhich with no mayo (and no sprouts). Check that website out and see if you can find a few you like to have just in case the kids get hungry while you're out and about, or you get caught up in an appointment and don't have time for a decent lunch/dinner.

 

Also-check out the website for Pancheros. Avoid the cheese, pork, and sour cream, and almost everything else is a healthy choice.  Something him and I got during the program a few times was pork or chicken tacos with just lettuce and salsa. They will fill you up and stay within that range. They have a great website for nutitional info as well.

 

I encourage you all to check out the websites of some of your favorite restaurants and find something that you can still have while going there. It is important to do things like this because then you will be less likely to slip up when time gets tight or stress gets high. --Emily
