    i was just thinking about getting chick-fil-a this week, too, cause i'm out here on the east coast just for the month!

    but my thought is that if it fits in my daily macros, or if i need to get a longer workout in, then why not?? :bigsmile:

    Its OK to give in to a craving if you plan for it and adjust your calories accordingly. I actually found that I LOVE their grilled chicken sandwich with the honey roasted barbeque sauce. I always get that and never feel deprived. But, if you want fried chicken, get it. Its not the end of the world, just make sure you eat lots of veggies at your other meals.

    I had somebody explain it to me like this: If somebody came up to you and offered you either A) Chick-fil-a sandwich and fries, or B) $7 (however much it costs), which would you pick? In a way, by not giving in to a craving you're "earning" $7...that's kind of like buying willpower! :)

    eat it.

    The more you deprive yourself, the more you are setting yourself up for a binge.

    this is why i have my cheat days every saturday.. and i have not had a single setback, and i have lost consistantly. 40 pounds, 47 inches and 5 months behind me. NEVER GOING BACK.

    I think ALL week about the amazing things i want to eat on saturday.. then usually i just get whatever hits me on that day & drink a pile of beer :laugh:

    It works!!

    You could pry get away with eating slop without adversity...

    Or...You should attempt to establish self-discipline by maintaining nutritional integrity and furthermore solidifying a triumph of your own will against temptation.

    Sacrifice is sexy, it's rare these days.

    I actually found out through "Eat this not that" that a chik fil-a sandwich is really on the lighter side of fast food. It's fried, yes, but I think it totals something like 300 - 400 calories. Seriously not that bad.

    I actually ate a frozen chicken patty on a potato bread roll with ketchup today for dinner. And didn't even dent my calorie goal.

    For real. There are worse things you could be craving.

    I don't. I go to Chick Fil A and have some nuggets and a side salad.....and I get a cup of water with ice. That satisfies my craving for Chick Fil A.....and its not too unhealthy. :)

    I have been craving chickfila for over three days now. When I do there, there is only one thing that I get and thats a fried chicken sandwich and fries.

    I know I don't need it. How do you get over a craving that you have had for more than three days?

    I only order one thing there...

    #1 Combo - original sandwich with waffle fries *add extra-extra pickles, ketchup and mayo* and mayo for the waffle fries. mmmmm heart attack from the drive through. *droolsssss*

    hahah edit to note that I get the "large" size with a diet lemonade...

    The usual response to these things is to plan for it.
    Log it.
    Eat better the next day.

    I agree, the more you deprive yourself of it, the more you want it. Get it out of your system, plan a light breakfast and lunch, exercise hard and enjoy a sandwich. :smile:
    ETA: Plus I looked it up and a small fry and a sandwich is 740 calories,, not to bad for dinner calories.

    I completely agree! I have been craving a Chipotle burrito for a week or so. The burrito (with the tortilla which is what I was craving), the way that I get it is 880 calories. Check out my diary for today. I ate a light breakfast and lunch, ran 3.5 miles, ate my burrito, and still have a couple hundred calories left over for the day. Don't deprive yourself, just work hard and you can do it!
