Going to a Brazilian Steakhouse - Need Your Help!

lizmcvey

For something like that, I would just try to make smart decisions and extra mindful of the other meals that day and maybe the next day but otherwise, enjoy and don't worry about weighing.

You should go to just one steakhouse instead of a Brazilian of them.

You win the thread.

Don't go.

Avoid temptation. Cancel.

Just popping in to remind you that the meat is very often heavily salted. Don’t freak out if there’s water weight gain over the next few days. Enjoy!

Churrascaria at half price??? I am extremely jealous right now. Wow. I would enjoy the *kitten* out of it, including wine, and not even try to log it. Then get back on track tomorrow.

Thanks everyone! I was DEFINITELY overthinking it. But, it worked out super well. We all sat and went green at the same time, so the table was swarmed. I ended up being able to have all but 1 piece on my plate at once, so logging was a breeze. I was able to use the gist/hand portion rule for all my food, instead of guess a slice at a time. And even if it hadn't worked out that way, I made the decision to only half pay attention (to make sure I stopped when full instead of continue bc it's in my face) and had a wonderful time with my friends.

Something interesting though. Being able to stop when I wanted wasn't as hard as it was last year. Well, it wasn't hard at all. I just ate slowly and made my one plate last. That is a wonderful feeling. Not being scared to go out to eat bc I'll eat everything. I didn't. I didn't even want to. And I was HUNGRY bc that was after having a suuuuuuper light breakfast and lunch. I've never had good control around food, had to really watch myself and be very conscious of my decisions. But clearly I do now. And I'm stoked!

And no. I won't be weighing myself this weekend. I'll wait lol.

Oh yes. 1 piece in and I was chugging water like it was going out of style. I eat at this place once a year but am always surprised by how salty everything is lol. I shouldn't be, but there ya go.

Stick to the most exotic cuts - the more unusual, the less likely your body is going to be used to digesting it, so it will digest less of it.

That’s...not how digestion works

I wouldn't even bother going to a churrascaria if I were going to concern myself with calories. I'd just quick add 2000-3000 calories and be done with it. The purpose is eat all the meat you want. Amazing that you managed to stick to one plate!

You have great willpower to only go once a year!

I'd suspend all logging and order myself up three personal orders of the cheese bread and clothesline that waiter every time he comes by with the parmesan pork.
