The Salad Bar for lunch

also if the veges were roasted with oil that can drive the calories way up.

Thanks for all the input!
I worked from home on Friday so took my 1/2 a salad back home & weighed it!

It came out at 483 for the 1/2 bowl (& was a very small bowl at 7 inches wide & 2 inches high) that was left. I know quinoa is quite dense so only had 1 spoon of it & only 1tablesoon of couscous (until I seen the quinoa) lol. Same with the chickpeas

Most of it was veg roasted with very little oil. But I learned my lesson on the sunflower seeds will be giving them a pass next time!

All in all I think I'll stick to leach greens & use my phone to track the eyeball spoon amounts. Now I know what they weigh.

But it's a tricky business -

Thanks for all the comments!

I'm going to stick with the salad bar but this time more leafy greens and raw veggies!

Am I the only person wondering: "Your work has a salad bar?"

Ha, mine does. A great perk here is that they have free lunch for us everyday (and dinner when we work late)...big salad bar, in-house catering with lots of choices. It's pretty nice...although I realize most people don't have that.
Honestly, it's a reason new employees here tend to gain weight...free and unlimited food.

My workplace does, too. We have a full cafeteria. Our lunches aren't free, though..they charge the salad bar by weight. I'm kinda glad the food isn't free, or I'd be gaining weight too!
