I wanted a quarter pounder and fries. I had an apple.

if you go over in calories, i know your not supposed to do this... but roll the calories over onto the next day, and eat healthier the next day... does that count as MFP cheating? its what i do when i eat mdonalds LOL

The apple was to tide me over until dinner - grilled salmon (or swai) and a salad of mixed greens.

The hubs and I are trying to curb fast food as much as possible in favor of home-cooked (we aren't always successful). He's had one heart attack - so it's not just about weight anymore.

Hmmmm... an apple is certainly not sustaining by any means!

If I were hungry enough for a 1/4 pounder and fries... I would have to at least have a sandwich of some sort with the apple!

But I don't even have to be hungry to want a hamburger.. they are one of my weaknesses and I'll eat a whole one even if I'm not hungry.

I agree, burgers are a weakness of mine too. I don't have to be hungry to want one at all! I would stuff myself silly when all I would need is a snack.
Great will power! To help curb the hunger maybe finding a low cal snack with some protien will help. It will last longer than the apple, but good job for not going with the burger and fries!

If you're going to have a burger better make it a great one, not one from Micky D's.

Agreed! Try 5 guys burgers and fries. Or, if youre in the right area, in and out burgers.

Good for you for taking the better food choice but I'd have added some peanut butter or something to help make that a little more filling... To help curb that hunger pangs.. Make it feel a little like a treat.
I too cant do anything in moderation only because of how my body processes things. So I really appreciate the smart choice.. Just think you are one more meal closer to goal instead of a couple of steps backwards.. Good for you
