    I've started asking for a box when they bring my meal, too. It makes a huge difference for me and I get to eat the other half later without going over my calorie allowance (usually).

    If it is a restaurant without online nutritional info, I will go ahead and divide my meal in half so I can weigh it when I get home to get a more accurate number when logging.

    I did that earlier this week. We went to Outback and I ordered the 6 oz Outback Special. I cut it in half. When I weighed the "other half" at home it was 1.6 ounces!! WTH?? I told my husband I should start carrying our scale in my purse and whip it out and measure my steaks before I cut it. I wonder what they would think if we brought our measuring cups and spoons, too? ;-)

    Advertised weights for steaks and other meats is before cooking. 3.2 oz is not out of the realm of possibility after cooking a 6 oz steak.

    Tonight's supper was from my customers, the Annual Wild Turkey Federation Auction & Banquet. It was pork loin, green beans and potatoes, and cake. The cook is the husband of a lady who works in Margie's office. He just does cooking in his spare time, but he is very good at it. My afternoon customers {baby shower} also brought me a full plate, so I just picked at my supper. The bad thing it was real food, and the shower fed me finger food.

    Grilled Boneless Chicken Thighs on my Traeger smoker (makes any meat amazing) With a side of buttered steamed mixed vegetables, sliced cucumbers and mini sweet peppers dipped in Greek yogurt ranch dressing. Low carbs to make up for the pizza and alcohol yesterday :wink:

    We had a very healthy and low calorie lunch today at Applebee's in Panama City. So for supper I fried up a pound of pork sausage to offset that ;) We had sausage sandwiches using yeast rolls. Also had leftover dirty rice {with hot sausage} and green beans and potatoes from last night. Everything was real good, especially the sausage sandwich. There will be some kind of cake later.

    The lady who's husband did the cooking last night works in Margie's office. She had posted the recipe for the green beans and potatoes on her FB page, so I'll post it here. Note that this is for a large baking pan, which is about how much I brought home last night.

    ARKANSAS GREEN BEANS (adapted from AllRecipes; makes 10 servings)
    5 (15-ounce) cans green beans, drained (note: you can substitute a similar amount of frozen green beans, about 4 (12-ounce) bags, thawed, or you can use fresh green beans, too)
    12 slices bacon
    2/3 cup brown sugar
    1/4 cup butter, melted
    7 teaspoons soy sauce
    1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the drained green beans in a 9ï¾—13″ baking pan. Cook bacon in a frying pan on your stove top or in a microwave on a microwave-safe plate until bacon strips are cooked enough to chop into large pieces (they should be done, but not real crispy). Sprinkle the bacon pieces on top of the green beans. Combine the brown sugar, melted butter, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Pour this mixture over the green beans and bacon. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and serve.

    Soup of the day was split pea and veggie. Supper itself was green beans and potatoes, dirty rice {with hot sausage} and ham, turkey, Swiss and Pepper Jack on a yeast roll. Still good. Also had a carrot that didn't make the picture.

    Meatless Monday, tried something new: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/spicy-bean-quinoa-salad

    Interestingly, my 18 year old (who normally won't touch spinach) loved it. It was pretty filling too. I did add some diced avocado. We had a couple of breadsticks along side. 'Quick, easy, delicious' - my favorite combo.

    St. Paddy's Day potluck at work. I made sure to eat a light breakfast and don't plan on eating much tonight, obviously! Corned beef and cabbage (OMG good!); roasted asparagus; green beans; spicy roasted pea pods; deviled eggs (my contribution); spinach & strawberry salad; broccoli salad; boiled carrots & potatoes; potato cake; ravioli shaped like shamrocks; garlic cheese bread (they had about 4 different kinds of bread and I limited myself to just one, ha!); cookies; cupcakes; apple cake (another one of my contributions). Lots of yummy veggie options for a change!
