    I had three things of the $1 menu at Taco Bueno. Shannon told me it was ok.

    That's right....pass that torch sweetie!! :laugh:

    So long as you make up for it with a great workout session or nothing but green leaves, you should be fine! One slip up every now and then will not kill :wink: your diet.

    If you deny your craving it will just get stronger! maybe only eat half the burger?? can you get a side salad with it? Just do it and don't feel bad about it. :)

    The burger itself isn't THAT bad, but all the crap on it is really bad, I.E. special sauces, mayo...etc. Also, the bread is probably white, not really a great option, if you can get away with something on whole wheat, that would be better. And the fries, yeah, those are pretty bad for you. You might want to skip that part. I don't know the menu on In and Out so I can't give you alternatives, but I know like Wendys has some healthier options. And Taco Bell has it's Fresco menu which is suppose to be pretty good.

    I had a burger for lunch. Granted, it was homemade, but still. That's what we usually do anyway. Money has been tight lately and my son can't have wheat which makes it hard to go to restaurants and find something he can eat. So we usually have burgers at home with homemade french fries (baked) and that takes care of our cravings for fast food burgers.

    You can get a burger from In n' Out - ask for "protein style" - where they subsitute the bun for lettuce. I don't eat at In n' Out (fast food is not my thing), but hubby loves it. Ask for no special sauce and no cheese (just ketchup, mustard and onions) and your calorie count should be pretty doable.

    The fries are not good for ya, but moderation is the key. And step away from the milkshake!!! Those babies pack a whallop!!

    Actually, if you do have a sudden craving for some down n dirty burgers, I found that 2 small cheese burgers, and a small order of fries isn't too much to plan around. You just hafta make an adjustment in your exercise schedule to allow it. :wink:

    LOL I thought the same thing...I just figured that "in and out" was what some people call fast food...like ya know, you're in a hurry so you need a place that you can get "in and out" quickly lol! We don't have one here either LOL!

    Funny this is the subject. I went for lunch today to IN n Out Burger.

    I had two Hamburgers Protein Style with mustard and ketchup instead of sauce and a diet coke.

    Total = 320 calories.

    Really good too. I probably could have gotten by with just one, but I feel like I had a feast and the calories were really reasonable.
