Im going out to eat with my mom and a friend and so I was thinking of getting:

Grilled Chicken Sandwitch
Steamed Veggies
then twizzlers at the movies and a diet drink.

What do you think??

My mom is getting popcorn with butter.

    I think I'd probably be sneaking a piece or two of popcorn. =)

    How much are you dedicated toward your goal? Will you feel guilty later if you 'cheat' and don't make your next goal when you wanted? I'd skip the twizzlers and drink water.

    That sounds good for a night out. :) Aren't twizzlers fat free?


    if it were me I'd opt for a chicken salad rather than a sandwhich.

    I don't think one night of Twizzlers is going to kill your goals but that's just my opinion!

    It's all about calories, then. If you're logging and all of that fits in, enjoy it.

    That sounds great! You could probably get some popcorn too if you'd like, just don't put all the butter. :)

    You can also try BBQ pork skins. They have 80 calories per 1/2oz serving with 5g fat, 0carbs. I get to crunch on these like the others get to crunch on popcorn. I usually bring 1oz and that satisfied my cravings!

    Try entering all of that into your MFP before you go out, then you'll know if it works for you! Also, don't get the bigass bag of Twizzlers at the theatre. They will just taunt you and you'll want to eat them all. Stop and get a small packet before you go. And most of all, enjoy the show!!!

    PS: stay out of the movie theatre popcorn...depending on where you are and what they use for the butter topping, even a small is like 600 calories. Not worth it!

    not worth it? the wrongiest wrong wronged on here today. popcorn at the movies is part of going to the movies. the experience isn't the same without it. personally, I get the small and a large diet drink. have 'em hold off on adding butter. work an extra 30 minutes at the gym. absolutely worth it.

    Just my opinion of course.
