Today's challenge:
No take-out today! Although some restaurants list their nutritional information, every chef is different. You could be consuming hundreds of extra calories without even knowing it! Today, take control of your meals; make them yourself! You will end up with a less expensive, more nutritious and probably much more delicious meal.
Make a great day MFP!

    Oi..... My entire office is being taken out for lunch today by our head chair of the board..... Would getting a plain salad and using lemon instead of salad dressing be ok?

    Funny I am definitely not a snob to take-out but I have found over the years Fast food restaurants and for that matter fast food sit-down restaurants rob us! Not only by having Highcalorie foods but they really don't have a lot of flavor or good taste! I feel most of us could make a darn good hamburgar at home much better then they can!

    This is going to be hard. My wife and I are going on a date tonight (she works nights usually and the kids are going to the grandparents) so we haven't had a 'date' in a very long time, but depending on where we go I will choose wisely and avoid the usual trapping of restaurant food (and yes we could 'eat in' but we cook almost every night and ant a break from that too) :-)

    I'll be making my own salad in the dining hall of the hospital where I work for lunch today. Does that count?

    So glad I brought my lunch today. We usually go out on Fridays.

    Salmon burger, moderate portion of Smart Taste spaghetti and lots and lots of broccoli ! Yummy!

    Done! Thanks for this..sometimes when I am out with the kids I think that going thru the drive thru would be the easiest...not the helathiest!

    Thanks off to eat at home,
    Denise
