    Hey Yea! Aurora isn't too far at all....maybe it's the subtle way food workers get back at their customers...I ran it by the hubby who works in restaurants (in the biz for 15 yrs) and he says they do the same thing but to fit more stuff inside...I'm more of a consipracy theorist myself and think it's vengance in some weird way...but it's probably innocent.

    Jimmy John's Big John no mayo no cheese...add cukes and dijon....total 370 cals. THey tear out the inside of the bread I noticed before they put in the sandwich ingredients...I asked why and they say it helps with calories. I wonder if the checkout guy thinks I'm fat...then again they did it to all the other sandwiches ahead of mine..maybe everyone's fat in their eyes.. HA!!! :grumble:
    What? Which Jimmy John's you go to? Cause the one by me doesn't do that! They don't care if I eat the cals! :cry: Granted I haven't been there in MONTHS! I'ma subway girl or chipolte even.

    PS I looked at ya profile to see where you are and you're not to far. haha

    ps...I go to the one in Shorewood off 59 by the Target

    I mixed a cup canned chopped clams with fat free sour cream and seasoned with salt, pepper and worcestershire sauce and piled it into some green leaf lettuce leaves with sliced tomato.

    All that for 200 calories! :bigsmile:

    Poor man tacos

    Natural grass fed ground beef from local rancher cooked and then when meat almost/not quite done add
    shredded red organic potatoes
    shredded yellow summer squash from our garden
    fresh ground black pepper and cumin

    and cook until everything done.

    Serve on corn tortillas with baby organic spinach, a small amount avocado, and hot sauce.

    I had 2 for dinner and 1 for a snack later:

    My rough estimate: 510 cal, 610g carb, 17 g fat, 33 g protein (for the three)

    My DH and DD raved.

    Laura from what I hear....Breakfast is KEY! :) I know we all know this. But You should consume more in the morning for it boots your metab. and helps burn more.

    Oh I know...I am really trying to force myself to eat more in the mornings...I always have something for breakfast, but I'd like to make it one of the bigger meals of the day...I am just so not a morning person lol...if it were up to me, I'd dress for work at night, and not crawl out of bed in the morning until 5 minutes before I had to leave...lol...

    I am gradually building up my breakfasts though...trying to get some protein in first thing in the morning...when we had some hard boiled eggs in the house, they were great for a grab and go breakfast, but of course I always wanted to sprinkle some salt on them, and sodium is officially my enemy...

    I am working on it though...I would like to get to the point where my calories are fairly evenly spread throughout the day, but breakfast is my largest meal, lunch is my second largest, and dinner is the smallest meal...I don't know how practical that is for me, but I would like to try it out...

    i use the morton lite salt, 290 mg sodium per 1/4 tablespoon, table salt has 590mg :smile:

    I would go with fajitas or maybe chicken or shrimp tacos...maybe using corn tortillas. Watch all the side stuff like chips/salsa, beans and rice, etc...or just eat a little. ;)

    I got a GREAT shrimp caesar salad at a mexican restaurant once, with the dressing on the side. It had cojita cheese on it too. REALLY good!

    I had a weight watchers smart one chicken fettucini for dinner and a little side salad. I even ate lunch at mcdonalds today and did better than I ever did. I had a fruit and walnut salad and a grilled chicken wrap.

    I love Jimmy Johns, but you gotta watch the sodium with them. It's outrageous! BTW, they have one of the coolest interactive websites: http://www.jimmyjohns.com/menu/nutrition.aspx. It's so nice to be able to play with your sandwich ingredients and make it "fit" into your day.
