EmTheQueen's Journal, 05 February 2016

Well it's been a rocky week in regards to weight loss. We've eaten out twice so I don't expect to lose much, if any, but I've been within my calorie limit and under my sugars still. Already meal planned for tomorrow since we will be eating out /again/ and have a bit of wiggle room left for a snack and a light dessert.
Learning the lesson that what I want (Panda Express Orange Chicken, 18 grams of sugar) is not necessarily what I ought to pick, even though having it is a very rare occasion. Oh well, I can still have my chow mein!

I got a little pocket size carb counting book that fits in my purse, and whenever we are going out to eat--not very often because of cost, but--as much as possible we go to places that are listed in the book, so I can look at the nutrition information and choose my wisest items for LCHF. If they're not in the book and I know ahead of time, then I look up the restaurant online, and check out the menu that way. It helps me SO much to feel like I'm in control, and some of the things you might think you could never eat, you can (and vice versa!) You know what they say, knowledge is power!

That's good advice, thank you! What I've been doing is using the restaurants and chains section of the FS app and checking the menu there. It's a quick look at calories and sugars and I plan ahead that way. I meal planned my whole day to stay low on sugar and within my calories :D
