i have had a really rough day my baby is really fussy (think shes teething) my sink is full of dirty dishes cause my DF cant do them and im way to tired to deal with cleaning and cooking myself somethign good so i just want something fast and easy. so i have a chicken pot pie that has 390 calories total 22 grams of fat 36 carbs and 10 grams of protine vs a can of Chef boyardee overstuffed beef ravioli that have 450 calories but only 10 grams of fat 44 carbs and 11 grams of protien. so ladies wich is the lesser of two evils? i only have 1 gram of fat left for the day but a bunch of carbs and im already over my protein. should i go with the less fat and more calories or less calories and more fat. ugh. i WILL be working out in the am with my sister if that helps any lol.

    I'm not sure which is the better but you said you were working out in the a.m. so my choice would be the overstuffed beef ravioli as it sounds the best to me as far as taste. But I could be wrong I have been before:laugh: Good Luck on your choice.

    I would go with the less fat...Sorry about your bad day...hope you have a better one tomorrow! Go with which ever one will make this terrible day end a little better, then start the day over again. You said you are working out in the am right?

    don't eat either, you gotta have something else you can have...canned tuna?? a grilled veggie wrap? some chicken noodle soup? egg salad......anything will be better, both are really poor choices,
    even with you working out in the am, you're still sleeping on all those junk calories....sorry...just trying to help, you'll have guilt..and that's never good!!!!
