Boston Market Food Choices



Recommended Posts

I love rotisserre chicken - dark meat. Boston Market is one of my favorite places to get it. Walmart comes 2nd. The dark meat is moist and I will take the skin off, cut the meat off the bones and weigh them on my food scale. What would be good for the side dishes because I usually eat cream spinach and loaded mashed potatoes. All ot this stuff is easy to eat. Hopefully its healthy and my tummy will appreciate the good food its getting.

What do you think?

I make wilted spinach lot...1 tsp olive oil with lots of chopped garlic. Boston market creamed spinach has 15 g sat. Fat in a 2 oz. serving. Yikes. Maybe green Beans would be a healthier option.

The green Beans have 200 fewer calories, 13 fewer grams of fat. Maybe stick to white meat ( if you can tolerate it) and beans, or if you bring it home, make wilted spinach with garlic and a little parmesan . It takes about 5 minutes.

I agree with you but (not me cuz I'm a housewife) some ppl have a 9-5 job or don't like cooking. It's easier to buy frozen food or get fast food. We just have to make better choices. Veggies.

If you love mash potato but don't want it have time to peel a potato. You can buy powder & just add Water it's by measurement it's done in no time. They sell chicken pre made its almost cook but you put it in the oven xx amount if time.

It's very difficult trying to find heathy food out. The reason it taste so good is the fat and sodium they add. I find that it's a pretty slippery slope eating out to often. My taste buds get use to the higher fat and sodium and before I know it, I'm craving food that way.....

I'm also a salt addict so thats probably why I am longing for the Boston Market. Okay, nevermind, its not good for me. I can make my own rotissere/baked chicken. Thanks everybody.

At most restaurants I order food the way I can eat it...steamed, without sauce, etc. of course this doesn't work at most fast food places. A good chef shouldn't have a problem with special orders.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
