Some friends invited us out for wings - so we went.
I skipped cocktails, and drank water with lemon. I skipped the fries, and ate wings and celery sticks with blue cheese dip, of which had one oz. Now get ready for this... 7 wings log in at 1299 calories!!!! :noway: :noway: :noway:
Could that BE???? It was a local pub, so I have no way to check the calories. The wings are not battered or dusted with flour. I used "Hooters" wings (although I've never had them - just figured that would be similar - pub style wings) and, yes, 7 wings = 1299 calories. I could cry.
I now have to exercise 720 calories off, and it's 7:00 p.m.!!!! ARGH!!!! I could have eaten my broiled tilapia with asparagus and brown rice, which was all prepped to be cooked. I feel sick about it all.
Never again.
Lesson learned.
Never again.
:ohwell:

Hooters wings have a bread coating on them. If your wings didn't have any, change it to "Naked" wings (what Hooters calls them w/o breading). I bet that will reduce your calorie intake pretty drastically.0

Awww...I feel for you! Write it off as a good time spent with friends and try not to beat yourself up too much about it! You can reduce your calories a bit each day so that you're not working out like crazy tonight! And good luck with the rest of your week!0

Thanks - you cheered me up - I went for a run, and then quit after 20 minutes / 200 calories burned - screw it - there is always tomorrow!

Thanks - good advice - before MFP I never really realized that I do have an issue with food and/or self control - I have to work on it!!

And stay away from the blue cheese! The fat content in blue cheese dressing from a place like Hooters has got to be outrageous. I'm talking as much as 19g for 2Tbs. Yikes!0 -

Yeah - it was killer - I should have just backed away from the whole experience! When I arrived at the pub, I thought about their grilled chicken salad, which is delicious, and then gave into peer pressure, as everyone was doing wings!
ARGH!!! I hope I've learned a good lesson - but my hubby does say that part of this whole experience now is learning how to eat "normally" in the real world, and that can include wings once a month, or once in a blue moon.
Anyway.... fresh food tomorrow...0 -
