I would go with just the chicken, personally. Heck, even just ask them if you can buy a chicken breast or something. Just go slow and you'll be fine. Personally, I'd avoid the yogurt parfait as it's really just a faux-healthy desert that's loaded with sugar.

I like carnival rides and cotton candy. Do you color your hair? It's lovely.

Considering that it is my post and my dilemma i can choose what the subject discussed on here can be. I asked a question and I would like people to respect my wishes. I know that most posts are about what I asked but its distracting when people dont respect the subject and try to help someone out. If it was you wouldnt you feel the same way in all honesty.

No. I would not. I realize that this is a public forum and things are going to veer in many different directions. I also realize that the world, as much as i would like for it too, doesn't revolve around me or my wants or my desires. Maybe you should realize that as well.

IMO I think you should try to stick to your doc and NUT recommendations as far as carbs, lettuce etc. And if you are unable to make your own decision after looking up the nutrition info for McDs then I'm not sure you are intelligent enough to be successful with the sleeve.

Honestly not trying to be ugly.

Wow, seriously? It's one question. One. Yet here you are, attacking this person for an honest question and pulling in all sorts of personal attacks that aren't relevant in the least. It's not disrespectful for someone to ask that things be kept on topic. If there's another topic someone wants to start, go nuts, start it.

We've all been a little neurotic when it comes to life post-sleeve sometimes and the first eating out excursion was, for me, a pretty big deal.

Good gawd, lay off.

Wow I bet you were an only child. You should be thankful for all of the insight and advice that it is shared here. Or maybe you should find another board that will cater to your delusional demands.

I think it is a good idea to avoid the wrap as everyone above has said, but also see if you can ask them to leave the dressing or sauce off. These usually contribute to calorie, carb and fat counts in a sort of "hidden" way.

If you look at the nutritional information on the grilled chicken wrap, it has on average 270 calories for 1. Are you going to have 1 or 2 per meal? Even for 1, If you are eating 5-6 times a day ( to better control blood sugar levels), this calorie count may be a little on the high side when added up over the duration of a week. I like that it has 18 g of Protein, but watch out for the high sodium count of 800 mg. The sodium is probably injected into the chicken so cannot be avoided.

Given that you are with limited options because of the nature of your trip (kids love mcD and cheap), this is probably your best Protein choice on the menu.

To most, myself included, the McD chicken wrap looks like a healthy option. Looks can be deceiving! Something that looks healthy may end up being higher cal, high sodium, etc so it is important to try and research menu options ahead of time instead of just evaluating based on what you think is healthy. You made a good choice to ask on this forum instead of finding out a week later you gained.

The fast food marketing machine has really figured out how to disguise their food. At least people are tending to wise up about it in recent years in part to publications like "The end of overeating." Eating fast food tends to make you want to eat more fast food because of added sugars, salt and fat. Eating a couple fries may trigger you to want to eat more fries, especially when everyone around you are eating them.

Hope this helps. Be strong.

I could be wrong because it was hard to find stats for this, but without the wrap itself its closer to 100 calories.

Oh boy...why does everything on here turn into a fight lately?

I understand wanting help OP and I think you got some great advise so far, but with due respect please chill out. Topics are going to veer off course from time to time (just look at the cheeseburger thread for proof lol) no need to be so short about it- it's not like no one was answering your question. It's the nature of having discussions.

Anyway I'm out of here before the fur begins to fly...

[Fallenangel2904 494]

Okay my apologizes OP. I didn't see just how far this thread had gotten off course, only a few replies. I think in this instance it's fair to say 'hey guys lets keep things on track here.' My apologies! But Im still high tailing it out of here because I smell trouble a brewing lol
