    I took apart a damn tuna hoagie the other day to weigh the individual components. The extra helping of shame put me over my calorie goal for the day.


    Sorry for the off topic but are you from near Philly? There arent many people that i know who call it a hoagie.

    I'm 10 minutes from Center City (on the Jersey side of the Delaware) and can hear the stadium fireworks from my front yard. You nearby?

    Was it from Wawa? B)

    I love my Wawa!!!

    The biggest news in my area is the city approved a plan for a wawa. I had tears of joy.

    I see your wawa, and I raise you a Chick Fil A. ;)
    Seriously, there is one under construction 5 minutes from my house that is set to open on DH's birthday, August 7th. He's already said that's where we're going to eat. I'm just excited I won't have to drive 30 minutes away just for a damned chicken sandwich or salad (depending on my mood) anymore! :laugh:

    And, what exactly is a "wawa"? I'm in SC, haven't seen one of those. :confused:

    Rubbish.
    You can't see a wawa and raise us a chain story.

    You don't even know what wawa is!!!

    Chick Fil - A is meh- it's fast food and that's about it. WaWa is a convience store but they make custom order food as well. There is absolutely no way in any world a chik-fil-a that is better than a wawa. just not happening.

    Ok ok, point taken, recanting my statement ;)

    I found it helpful to order dressingu/sauces/cheese on the side, eg. When i go for chicken cesar salad I ask for cheese and dressing on the side. Then I can decide how much of that I eat if any.

    @JoRocka I'm throwing this one out there....Krauszers Food Store.
    OP...I like your way of thinking. Why over complicate it. You give a solid simple solution. Thank you.

    Dude. I'm in the land of the hoagie! Wawa may be the best convenience store in the world, but South Jersey's best hoagie shop is a 5 minute walk from my house.

    There are stores in Florida now, too. Definitely in Orlando and I think possibly in Jacksonville and Tampa.

    Did that to a Walmart All American sub - once. Now I have the recipe and just weigh what I got. Boy was the database off by about 300 calories.

    This is an excellent idea. I should double check my Subway sandwich next time.



    Yeah, the schwarma I like is a good 200 calories more than most related entries in the database, by my reckoning.

    It takes a lot of time and effort to learn how to eyeball this stuff, though. Especially for people new to counting.

    Dude I can't even guess chicken schwarma- I don't bother. I'm pretty sure I have a "*kitten* it I ate to much" entry LOL

    Also- I'm totally a translate- I grew up saying sub- now all I say is hoagie.
    and a Trenton Pork Roll. yeah- that's totally a thing.

    What else would you call pork roll?

    LOL- Do they sell gas too? Because if then they are a contender against WaWa- otherwise it's just a food store- but I want to say I've heard of them I shall google.

    Give it up my friend- I live spitting distance to a deli- and they are DAMYUM good- seriously- everyone raves about their bread.

    Tell me about your secret stash.

    Meh, it's simple if you don't eat out often. You probably don't have to worry too much about what you order no matter what. I think the issue is many of the people asking are used to eating out for more meals than they don't and in many case are even coming from a point in their lives where they don't exercise or haven't for very long. It's easy for the guy/gal who runs 10 miles a day or has been bulking/cutting for years and is 10% body fat to say "it's just one day!" Maybe it 99% mental but it's still a valid thing.

    I eat out a TON due to frequent work travel and general laziness. If you're gonna be "about that restaurant life," it's pretty simple as long as you're realistic.

    1. I know I will weigh more tomorrow because there's no such thing as low sodium at a restaurant...even if it tastes bland.
    2. Plan in advance and be aware of the sum total of my calories and macros for the day. If I know I'm eating out that night, I'm going to be more judicious with my calories throughout the day.
    3. Double meat...because I need my protein.
    4. No nutritional facts isn't the end of the world. I live in a city where majority of the restaurants don't have nutritional facts. I recognize that fried shrimp at restaurant X isn't going to be wildly different than fried shrimp from chilis so I log chilis. log high when in doubt.
    5. If I do pack on a real pound, I adjust accordingly the next week.
    6. Have the mental awareness that in the grand scheme of things, an extra 1000 calories in a week is not deadly.
    7. Every time I eat out is really just an excuse to order steak in some way shape or form. Thanks cows!

    Okay, why don't we have any of these things on the West coast? First pizza, now the hoagies are better in the East?
