    Compare what the old you would order, and what the now / new you would order

    Make sure to include the macros and calories !

    Sorry but I can't help you. I never ate there, not before, not now, and hopefully not ever!

    The old me....

    Grilled Stuffed Burrito Beef
    Nacho
    Soda
    Carmel Apple Empanada (at least one, maybe 2)

    The new me......

    Don't go there because it is just the gateway to bad eating. I'm not saying I don't ever eat out, I just don't do Taco Bell because what I really want isn't the "healthy" stuff.

    Then:

    Bean burrito (no onions, extra red sauce) - 370 Calories
    Crunchy beef taco - 170 Calories

    Now:

    Bean burrito (no onions, extra red sauce) - 370 Calories
    Crunchy beef taco - 170 Calories


    Those 2 things fill me up.. I enjoy them too much to substitute.

    I have never ever eaten there. And I don't feel the need to ever eat there.

    Thankfully I was raised somewhere where the closest fast food restaurant was 25 minutes away. And we didn't go there as a "reward". So I've never been much of a fast food person.

    Lulz...well now that we know how superior you are...

    This is going to sound horrible…
    Old me: Mexican pizza, two tacos, Spanish rice, and the cheesy mashed potatoes.

    New me: Mexican pizza.

    I like 2 small items, with minimal sauces (i.e. no sour cream).

    LIke a bean burrito and beef taco. Water of course.

    I are there recently for the first time. I wouldn't waste calories in the potatoes but the 2 hard shell tacos were very good and not too many calories.

    Taco Bell was never my favorite place
    Old me:
    chicken quesadilla
    2 soft tacos
    large pop

    new me:
    2 fresco grilled steak tacos

    I don't really care for taco bell so I've only been there once since I started losing weight. (and that was because I was on a business trip and got out voted)

    I would eat whatever you feel you should allow yourself. I ate a random array of things before, but now I try to be a little more aware. I check how many calories I have left for the day and then I look at the nutritional facts for everything and pick what I would like from there. Don't let anyone on here make you feel bad for wanting to eat fast food... we all eat something that's not the healthiest, no one has room to judge and judging is not what MFP is for.

    3 crunchy taco supremes 600 cals
    3 Nacho cheese chalupas 1080 cals
    1 caramel apple epinada 310 cals

    TOTAL 1990 calories in ONE MEAL. :cry:

    Sometimes I would even eat 4 of each. Binge eating at its best. Ugh old me, why.


    I don't know what I would eat now...haven't eaten there in well over a year, still sounds delish though, sadly.
