I watched a friend of my eat a deli sandwich today that consisted of roast beef, American cheese, mustard, veggies all smothered on a wonderful dutch crunch roll (the key to my heart, for sure). :heart:

I am super duper craving one right now but don't know if I should even bother. I have about 1,100 calories left for the day and would definitely hit the gym up after wards.

Should I ignore it and just do my dinner as planned? I don't know.. :frown:

Also, what do you think one of those babies (from Safeway's deli) would cost as far as calories?

    I say, if you have the calories to work with, and you REALLY want it, make it your splurge :smile: Those days when you allow yourself something off track while still staying in your calorie range can actually help you by giving yourself what you want. To find the calories, I would try dividing up the ingredients and looking it up that way. Enjoy! :smile:

    I would but I do that all the other times. I practically live at Subway now for lunch, but there is no comparison to a big ol' deli sandwich. Also, the reason for my craving is because it's the kind of sandwich I would normally get like 2-3 times a month on weekends.

    And that dutch crunch roll.. oh man.. don't get me started on that!

    I say it depends on how you are... be honest with yourself. Can you splurge this one meal and be ok tomorrow?

    I find that when I fall off the wagon, I don't just fall. I jump off, flip it over and light it on fire... usually I don't get a new wagon for months. :wink:

    I have no room to talk...other than to encourage you to do that which will help you as an individual.

    I really dieted well today...until now. I ate something that's healthier than other options; but, I'm going to the gym right now to get my mind wrapped around options that I could have exercised...like eating only half today :blushing:

    Thanks for reaching out to the crew...I should of earlier. Next time I will! (just being transparent with y'all)

    what about getting it without cheese? Or getting it and wrapping 1/2 of it up and eating the other half with a salad?
