Nice post. Long time reader, first time poster

I think this is really applicable to young readers you may have. While your out at the movies or just hanging out with your friends, not everyone will want to go to Cozy and get a chicken salad. You can still go to McD’s with your friends, just get a chicken sandwhich and take off the bun and keep the good time goin’.

Nice post brother

Right on bro, thanks for sharing how to plan ahead and be prepared!

Like you said, we’re all living in the real world. There will be times when you are out and you are going to visit a fast food establishment, or you are due for another meal keep your metabolism high -but you forgot to pack something to eat!

I was at the movies a couple weeks ago, and miscalculated the length of the film. I packed one protein shake, but the movie ran longer than I thought! Since I eat every two hours, I was debating what to do. The theater had breaded chicken strips for 5 dollars — I went with that. They tasted great, and they were low in cals. All in all, I don’t think it disrupted my diet for that day, and it was barely even a ‘cheat meal.’

A good way to set up a meal contingency plan is to look at a map of places you frequent, then use google maps to find all of the food places nearby. Check out the menus in advance, and decide in advance what you will eat. That way you won’t be faced with the decision to go with a burger and fries instead of a chicken salad! I’m pretty familiar with my healthy options around town…the problem is being on the road. Even still, with a little bit of reasoning, like you showed us, we can make sure we are still eating healthy!

Good on ya bro, thanks for sharing as always.

Hi Israel,

You did fine… chix=205, mayo=105, bun = 107 & lettuce = 3 calories… total would have been 488 but you stripped off 283 calories for a total of 205 calories per piece of chicken.

I took at look at the nutrition website and found even the choices that traditionally healthier were problematic… like the turkey subs have some much other stuff.

It is hard to keep your focus at a fast food joint but as you say – you need a calorie deficit. Way to go!

Well, it is. Some folks are always faced with temptation. Why not stare it in the face and start taking action to not succumb to it. Baby steps.

What a great idea – ditching the buns. I like the way you used captial letters, “…this being the REAL WORLD…”

Thank you for the reminder.

Cheers
