Is there a healthy alternative to fries?

    Five guys fries are great tasting, but almost a days worth of calories. Sweeet potato fries are better, but still high. I have pretty much given up fries and go for some kind of mixed veggie side. Not as exciting, but I have decided that fries aren't worth the calories.

    Good luck and if you find a healthy fry, please let me know!!!

    MMMMM. 5 Guys! I got a $20 gift card for them over the holiday. I am going to have it in 3 months. After I finish Turbo Fire. Today is day 3.

    I love their grilled cheese too!

    Yeah. I like the veggie without cheese. It's the fries that get me.

    Five Guys is delicious, but I just try to avoid it altogether because the burgers and the fries are way too calorie rich. I get too tempted...

    I've been once (that was because my picky 8 y/o daughter smelled it and said, "Mommy, we have to eat THERE!") I had the smaller burger and counted out ten fries to eat. I did extra cardio that day and ate raw veggies and drank water as much as I could the rest of the day. I was under my calories for the day. The food was really good and I didn't feel deprived. I've learned that I have to tackle restaurants that way or I will give up.

    Hope this helps!
