TylerAshton567 0 Posted February 12, 2011 Can u even eat anything from sonic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaineJackie 3 Posted February 12, 2011 It's not so much what I "can" eat......but a question of "why would I want to" eat certain foods. I for one have stopped eating all fast food. Could I? I don't know....probably. But I don't want to...... I do not eat bread, Pasta, potatoes....but that is my choice. I don't feel deprived....and I love the way I feel so much more than how good a burger and fries tastes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humming Bird 275 Posted February 12, 2011 The only thing I am able to eat at sonic is icecream, so I better stay away. Oh, I can drink the iced tea and coffee there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TylerAshton567 0 Posted February 12, 2011 It was just a question I was just wondering if they even served anything good like maybe their salads? Idk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheckYes 46 Posted February 12, 2011 I bet they have their nutritional information online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalipso2 25 Posted February 13, 2011 i'm one of the believers that you shouldn't deprive yourself of any foods, in moderation of course, IF your band lets you. unfortunately, my band doesn't allow me to eat bread, ground meat or french fries (pizza included). if i try to eat them i throw up. with that being said, i don't see anything wrong with occasionally eating at Sonic. i usually eat chicken fingers if i have to eat fast food. i usually order a kids meal when i eat out. 1 L12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattie7632 24 Posted February 13, 2011 I don't deprive either. Funny you should ask about Sonic though, the other day I flew through the drive thru, I did not know what to get so I ordered a large tator tot and a small diet coke. I finished about half the order of the tots, and a few sips of the diet. I was completely satisfied. I don't recommend fast food obviously, but sometimes we're just in a hurry!! 1 L12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bunnyluv37 1 Posted February 13, 2011 i agree just because we have this surgery doesnt mean that sometimes we are not going to want those fast foods, my nutritionist says its fine from time to time just know when and how much, because i feel we are all human and sometimes you will want that burger or whatever it maybe that you use to like before 1 L12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rottie69 4 Posted February 13, 2011 Hi people!!!!! I have to say that once a week I like to have a treat. Whether its chicken wings from pizza hut, or 4 piece chick nuggets with small fry from mcdonalds, or maybe a slice of homemade pizza. I have to really chew my food so I get to enjoy it that much longer. But it helps. Right now, I have lil tiny mini bites rice crispy squares in my cupboard, I allow my self one at a time. I tihnk they are 1inch by 1 inch. Im losing weight and I dont over indulge on my treats. I make them last, most times its that little bit of flavor I need, to get rid of the craving. It works for me, but it may not for others. I found that if I deprived myself of some of the good things I like it made this all that much harder. BUT I will say, I do not eat my mini treats before my meal. Its either in between of right after.Also, when I eat out at my weekly treat spot, its ALWAYS a kids meal with no drink. I drink my Water 1/2 hour before my treat. B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nomorejellybelly 77 Posted February 14, 2011 If I eat something that probably isn't a good food choice, I try to make up for it through out the rest of the day. I don't like to eat salads anymore and I'm doing really good at staying away from french fries and cheeseburgers. If I eat a cheeseburger, I don't eat most of the bun. I love chicken nuggets/strips, so I would get those if I went to Sonic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherinCA 10 Posted February 14, 2011 Yea, I eat everything.. just in moderation. To me, somethings just aren't worth the calories. Like, I don't want a tiny hamburger for 400 calories.. I'd rather eat an entire meal for 400 calories. Looking at their nutritional content (we don't have sonic here, but some suggestions)... a Sonic burger has 800 calories... but a Jr. Burger has only 310. But remember all the Condiments have fat and calories The Grilled chicken salad has 250, plus dressing you can get light ranch for 70, or FF Italian for 25 thats not bad. Or a grilled chicken wrap is 390 calories. http://www.sonicdrivein.com/pdfs/menu/SonicNutritionGuide.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trishfish 1 Posted February 14, 2011 I don't do sonic (non around me) but I do taco bell usually once a week. I used to get a certsin item and eat half thinking I was "good" on calories...then I happened to look up the nutritional content and was shocked at what I was eating! So now I get a crunchy taco sub the meat for Beans and a little tiny bit of sour cream. im satisfied and its pretty good on the calories. But when I do eat fast food I really try to have lean Protein and low carb veggies for dinner. I also treat myself once a week to starbucks...then workout an extra half hour that day. Whay can I say my lattes are totally worth the extra work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Momto3redheads 18 Posted February 14, 2011 If I were single and didn't have to ever feed the family on the way to practice after I get off work, etc, then I wouldn't probably eat fast food....but since I am a working mother of three that isn't realistic in my world, so I have had to find something that I am able to eat in times of time crunch! I have a few favorites most places that are doable.... I guess I don't stress over the calorie content, etc, as much as I try and balance it with my other meals that day and splurge a bit....at Sonic sometimes I get the corndog, b/c I love it, but usually I will eat chicken tenders or a small hamburger without the bun, oh and they have that mini chili frito wrap thing, too....at Wendy's I am a chili addict - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE their chili! MY kids know if they wanna get me to eat out to suggest Wendys as their chili fills me up and it's got a lot of Protein. LOVE IT! At McDonalds, gag, I usually stick to a yogurt parfait and a chicken nugget or two...I guess you just have to find something doable whereever you are - as there isn't always something that is optimal available. I can't tolerate bread very well, though, which limits my choices! Good luck! Kimmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
