ebthompson2010 126 Posted December 22, 2012 Any suggestions on what to eat out post op?? Us normal busy moms don't always have a chance to eat from home. In our town we have sonic, McDonald's, church's chicken, pizza Hut, and Whataburger. That's it. Any suggestions?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeauxForIt 659 Posted December 22, 2012 If I have to drive through somewhere, I order a grilled chicken sandwich with only chicken and bread. Toss the bun, eat the grilled chicken! 1 AngelEyesInNJ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kymbo 14 Posted December 22, 2012 Whataburger has grilled chicken. Otherwise keep a Protein Bar in your purse and avoid fast food entirely (a huge adjustment I've had to make for myself). Good luck, I know it's not easy. 1 ArtSong reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindaS 316 Posted December 22, 2012 You can also stop at a gas station. There you can buy Jerky or Muscle Milk Protein Shakes.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsFab1988 275 Posted December 22, 2012 you can stop by Ihop and get a side of eggs....or carry a Protein Shake with you....but when I find myself at McDonalds, I get 4 piece chicken nuggets. I know its not the best choice but it works for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ballermom 803 Posted December 22, 2012 I'm with you I m out traveling alot too. Found myself at fast food places more than the average. So, I plan to pack shakes, crystal light. And some low cal snack foods. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted December 22, 2012 We are all very busy Mom's or not. You have to plan what you are going to eat and pack a lunch. RTD shakes, cheese strings, lunchmeats, leftover meats, tuna. You name it, you can bring it. Fast food is the WORST food that you can be eating, stay away from it.

Ready4success 380 Posted December 22, 2012 I eat the same thing everyday, just to keep the guesswork out of it. Breakfast: Protein shake Snack: Edamame Lunch: Brookstone cottage cheese & avocado Snack: Dannon Light & Fit 2x Protein yogurt Dinner: protein and a veggie Eating these foods just keeps it easy for me. I put a cooling pouch and pack a lunch kit, and eat in my car as I round on patients. By dinner, I've already eaten 60 grams of protein. I admit I've struggled a lot during the holidays, though. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebthompson2010 126 Posted December 23, 2012 Thanks everyone! I do pack a lunch often. But sometimes I just get so fed up with the same things. I have found that a 1$ side salad and a grilled chicken wrap at McDonald's works well. I just take out the chicken and add it to the salad and get the fat free Italian dressing. Add it all together then shake it in the container. I focus mainly on the chicken but I get some salad in. I'm proud of McDonald's for offering a small salad on the 1$ menu.
