Do you have take out/Fast food?

[mamamc32 132]

We get take out or go out to eat about once a week. I just make sure to eat a reasonably small amount and make smart choices. I had part of a Runza sandwich the other day - I enjoyed it, and I definitely didn't eat all of it. I'll probably eat some leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

For me, that works. Fast food/take out was never a huge issue for me, though.

I eat fast food for lunch a lot. chipotle a lot. or get a lettuce wrapped burger and eat a portion of it. I go to taco bell, panda express I get teriyaki chicken - no sauce and steamed veggies , when I go to restaurant's I get a medium rare steak and end up losing weight the next day lol I guess these may be bad habits but I get my Protein in and enjoy myself. I've lost 49 lbs, I'll be 5 months post up in 9 days... I'm averaging 10lb loss a month - 50 lbs in 5 months seems good to me...it could probably be more if I ate a little better and worked out more but i'm happy.

Rarely. Twice I've had a few bites of Wendy's Chili and it was good and went down well. Usually I plan better just because there are so few good options, I won't be able to eat but a few bites of anything, and because that isn't what I want to feed my pouch.

We eat out usually 2 times per week, either sit down or fast food, because my life is crazy right now with my kids extra curriculars and holiday stuff going on.

In terms of fast food, we don't have a lot of options here (McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell, A&W, KFC, Subway and Popeyes). Usually we do Wendy's if we get fast food and I will get a chili or a single burger with no bun. They will put it in a container for you and you can get toppings on the side so I will add cheese and a little ketchup with onion, lettuce and Tomato. Also Subway is another popular one for us, I get a chopped salad with double meat. I will also occasionally get a grilled chicken, no bun, from McDs or spicy tenders from Popeyes with Corn as my side.

When we eat out at sit down restaurants it's usually diners so I just look for items that are high Protein and lower carb (though I'm allowed up to 100 grams a day) and substitute veggies for fries or just get no side and steal a few of my kids fries because I can only eat like 3.

Rarely. All I get is a four piece nugget from Wendy's. Everything else just seems pointless or gross now.

If it has too much breading I don't even want it. If it's greasy, I don't want it. Lol

We really try not to, but it is hard with all the stress that life gives you. I want to get away from it, but these last few weeks we have probably had it twice a week. I only eat one mcdonalds burger instead of the 8 I used to eat before getting sleeved. Like others have said, I know they are better choices to be made but it is what it is.

I plan on eating an egg mcmuffin again when i'm able. Ok, half an egg mcmuffin. I doubt I'll be able to do much better than that. I LOVE me an egg McMuffin.

290 calories.....16 grams of Protein.

So, half would be.... 145 calories and 8 grams of protein and 15 carbs.

Not too bad for a treat I love once in a while. With a big ole Decaf coffee...that could be a really good Breakfast on the go.

Also...at KFC...eating a breast without the skin isn't that bad. But yeah...ya gotta pitch the tasty crunchy stuff

130 calories.... 29 whopping grams of protein...2grams of fat

I'm not a big skin eater. I've tried this and I like it. The skin was never my love affair.

That said.....Beware the cole slaw....sugar city! I love it, but will not order it.

I've had Chinese take out a few times now. I order the tofu with mixed vegetable steamed with the sauce on the side. It works into my plan and makes my boyfriend happy because he loves Chinese food.< br>

never. just no desire for it at all.

If I have no other options I will but find most of it completely unappealing and don’t like the taste of most of it. I will generally only eat either an egg and cheese wake up wrap from DD or a small chili from Wendy’s.

[JT2002TJ 170]

As others have said, I do Wendy's Chili. I am almost 3 months post op, I can not eat an entire small (it is at least 2 meals to me). Anywhere else I will order a burger/grilled chicken sandwich without the bun (dry) and ask for mustard. If it comes with bacon I will eat the bacon. I do Buffalo Wild Wings (traditional on bone) hot/medium or lemon pepper (now that I eat so little, I have added other flavors that have some sugar in the sauce).

It is too early for me to eat salads (raw fruit or veggies), so will change over time.

I find it easier to ask for it without the bun. They usually put it in a hard plastic container and are used to people asking for it this way (for those who watch carbs or for those who order it this way for their dogs).
