Chick Fil-A employee encourge me to stay focus

Options
Good morning, I'm soooooo happy to be using the app for MFP. I manage to stay on point when eating out. I went to Chick Fil-A yesterday and even told the person taking my order I was watching my calories and working hard to shed pounds; she was very helpful with helping me pick the right items on the menu. She even said "If I see you again "we" are going to work together to keep you on track". WOW... sharing with strangers even was a help.

    I used to work for Chick-Fil-A, and just from working there I can tell you that if I do eat fast food, that's the place I'll go to! Their chicken isn't some processed frozen garbage...fresh chicken is delivered, and each nugget is cut. All of the chicken (except grilled, of course) is really hand-breaded. And yeah, the fruit cup is awesome! :smile: Just stay away from the milkshakes, unless you plan on a cheat day! haha.

    I love Chick-fil-A!
    They have healthy choices all on their menu.
    Personally I love their Chargrilled Chicken Garden Salad.
    It only has 180 calories (not counting dressing or croutons).

    Keep up the good work!

    I work right outside a chick-fil-a, so it is naturally the place I eat all the time! I have learned they have a lot of really great options for people watching their weight. I recommend their side salads in place of the waffle fries! They are so good and pretty big. Also, I recommend a wrap instead of a sandwich. It is the little changes that make a big difference. I generally get a spicy wrap with a side salad and a diet lemonade and a split a fat free honey mustard dressing on the salad and the wrap for a total calories of 570. Not terrible since its very filling. I don't have to take my sandwich apart and I feel good about what I am eating.
