Fair Food

[init4me 45]

init4me, sounds like you did a great job! I would also add that maybe some of the bbq'd meats that don't have the sauce on them would work too. Not sure where you're at transition wise w/beef and pork. Anything grilled and not sauced up should be fine. I don't think your going to derail yourself! Sounds like you had a good time w/your mom!!

Thanks! It's all about not giving up the things I like to do, but just altering the thinking/and eating of food. I love going to the fair!

A word about butter. It's a LOT better for you than plain vegetable oil like peanut, Canola, etc. I eat butter, olive oil and coconut oil in limited amounts of course. Saturated fats do not necessarily equal fat. Carbs do equal fat. If you body does not use what you eat for instant energy, it stores it as fat. Protein and fats are metabolized differently.

That said: About the only thing I would trust at a fair is the before mentioned turkey leg, grilled chicken or those Mexican trucks that sell the shrimp cocktail with avocado. I have also seen fresh fruit and nuts. Careful with the nuts. They are good Protein, but a serving is usually 1/4 cup. Obviously do not get the sugar encrusted ones. Oh yeah! Gourmet beef Jerky is great!
