Pigging out at the salad bar

I love a big salad bar, and always imagined there was immunity from weight gain, since it is all so healthy, right? A lot of customers there appearantly think so, too.

Now, in my fourth week of counting, I know better. I have been going to Souplantation once a week for my treat night. That is my time to get stuffed, but in a good way

And it is all a lot easier if I go with other calorie concious people.

Here is an article on salad bar survival:

    One or 2 tbsp of dressing : 120-150 calories
    1+ lb of broccoli: 125 calories.....gotta be smart at the salad bar lol. Esp souplantation. They have their nutritional info and most prepared items are calorie BOMBS. I just get my raw veggie fixin there if I go lol or if I’m deep in a cut and have a refeed/ cheat I’ll go hammmm on err thang
