SageTracey 608 Posted March 13, 2013 Neither are good choices for us bandsters but sometimes you may find yourself in a situation so.....if I have to make a fast food choice I look for grilled chicken, salad without dressing, no fries, dump the bun. On the alcohol side, volunteering to be the designated driver makes me everyone's best friend! But if I have sufficient calories available for alcohol, choose lighter options, non-carbonated. 1 misscarrie36 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dani_nyc 224 Posted March 14, 2013 McDonald's premium grilled chicken without the mayo and without the bun is 210 calories 9 grams of fat, 34 carbs, 28 Protein, and 80 calories from fat. That's why myfitnesspal and my plate are great cause you know exactly what u are eating Some of those salads at McDonald's are like 600 calories lol talk about false sense of security And here's a article on low calorie cocktails http://www.glamour.com/health-fitness/2008/12/5-best-low-calorie-cocktails#slide=1 1 Karen85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veronica68 81 Posted March 14, 2013 I really don't eat fast food, used to though. I have found I really don't like Mcdonalds anymore. In the past I have had Wendy's chili. I don't know the nutrional info. but it seemed like a good option and band friendly. Beans, and the ingredients in the sauce (sugar) probably make it faily high in carbs, but certainly better than burger or whatever with a bun and fries.

B-52 7,113 Posted March 14, 2013 I mean after all is said and done after surgery. After all is said and done after surgery....was about 6 months for me....it took me that long to figure out what I was doing, learned to "Listen" to my band, and felt securely in the Green Zone.... THEN I started to drink alcohol, including Beer....but I know what I'm doing....I do not think it would have been a good Idea when I was first starting out and learning my lessons, developing my new Lifestyle....and I was on a good, steady consistent weight loss journey.... Also, there is very little I can eat that is co-operative with my band in the way of fast food.....Wendy's Chili is a favorite, but not much else jumps out at me.... 1 koolkel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
