    Do it, but eat half--- and log it! Gotta allow urself "normal" food. And also, don't just eat because of stress. Eat it if you're actually hungry....

    Don't do it! Stay strong! Or make someone else get one and just have a bite. That's my favorite trick :wink:

    I agree with most of the posts - eat it, but have a smaller portion. Philly Cheesesteaks, depending where you get them, aren't necessarily all that bad. Just make sure you log it. Maybe do a little extra exercise, get some endorphins to help with your bad day. :flowerforyou:

    I agree! Have a half or even or quarter of it. If you deny yourself your craving, you might end up binging and undoing all of the work you have done so far.

    Remember - everything in moderation, even moderation.

    Cheers

    Hope this helps :flowerforyou:

    DON"T.....simply because you had a bad day...you dont' want to train your brain or body that bad days = greasy bad for you food.

    You do need to eat something "normal" on occassion- but not because you have a bad day its not a good habit to get into.

    DON'T DO IT!!!!

    I lived in Philly for 4 months during college and gained 15 lbs. thanks to cheesesteaks! 3 years later I'm still working them off!

    Try and see if it's because of your day or if you really crave it. Try going out and doing something for about 20min. If you're at work, walk to another part of the building. Just do something to get your mind off it. If you can't, then have half now and save the other half for later, like tomorrow. Log it and see where you're at. Maybe do any extra workout or make the nutrition up at dinner :)

    Get the chicken Philly and eat half. If you think about eating the other half . . .put it in your back pocket instead. That is where it will go if you eat it.

    I agree with this. I say don't just because you wanna do it because you are having a bad day. It's great to have those kind of days where you give into your craveings but not because you are having a bad day. Because you deserve it. Or because you want it that bad. Good luck!

    Go for it! Is it the BEST thing to eat? No. But, hell, if you are craving it, why not?

    440 cals isn't bad and 21g fat seems like a lot... But, so is 2tbl of Peanut Butter.

    Try not to eat the entire thing and just eat a few fries. Maybe throw down a little side, green salad before you eat the sandwich to fill up a bit.
