Went to a continuing education dinner last night. Sometimes they're in restaurants, sometimes in a hospital lecture room, but it's always a toss up as to what kind of food you're going to be served. I usually eat a little lighter those days, so I can have a little wiggle room. Also usually try to make sure I exercise those days, but a spill on the ice several days ago has made that a little difficult.
Anyway-- last night's dinner was domino's pizza -- which would definitely not be my first choice if I was going to have pizza, but I was hungry. Luckily, they have their NI online, so I could see what the total was going to be before I chose anything (except I thought they were medium pizzas at first, then looked at the boxes again before I left & saw that they said large hand tossed pizza). Even when I had to adjust for the larger size, I had calories left for the day after I was done!! I picked the veggie versions over the pepperoni & sausage ones. I was a little hungry after I got home, so I made myself a high protein snack to counteract all those carbs (don't usually eat that many carbs at once anymore!). Just wished that they had salad too.

    Taking the time to find out what the calorie count, etc before was great! You were able to make a good choice and still be part of the group. Nicely done!

    Good job! I get (at home of course) Digiornos thin crispy veggie pizza. The whole thing is only 630 calories!
