Well, I'm off to the county fair! Yep, you know what that means....FAIR FOOD!!!! Yummy! Even better, I'm going by myself and no one can be the food police! Sooo.. I decided to make a game of pretending I'm a food reporter on a mission to find the healthiest food to eat at the fair. I've given myself a calorie budget of 600 calories.
I will report back....

    Good luck. Fair food can be really challenging. I spent a week at our county fair last month. My downfall was the lemonade (delicious but I'm sure loaded with sugar).
