Thank you so much for all the info! 😊 you made me laugh with the sodium / water weight / delete the app part hahaha. That is actually why I was worried about sodium, I know it will make me retain water and thus result in a bad weigh in on Saturday. I’m still new at this, it’s my first week so I think I need to drill it in…

It’s harder when the company you’re with isn’t watching what they eat I find 🙉 your plan is so organized, I can tell you’re good at this 😊 thanks for sharing! I definitely feel more ready now! I’ve made a plan of exactly what I will have and am now excited and looking forward to it 😍

Thanks for your insight! 😃 I will definitely control myself, I’ve made a plan of exactly what will go on my plate and I’m now excited about it and a lot less panicked than I initially was. 👌🏼 You’re right it seems ALL buffets have fruit as an option for dessert. I myself don’t consider it a dessert, but I just won’t have…

I’ve made a “meal” in the app and planned my breakfast and supper around it and I too will be respecting my alloted calorie budget tomorrow, so I am glad! 😊 I wouldn’t want to eliminate Chinese buffet permanently, we go monthly with work and I love it!

Good advice, I’m seeing it as a cheat day really because I don’t see it as a healthy option or an option I would choose weekly. Just want to go about it in a “smarter” way still and control what I eat when I’m there! 😊

I’ve never had that, never seen it at any of the locations in my area , but it sounds yummy! I love anything sweet and sour 😍

Thanks for the tip! Didn’t know this about wings 😵

Oh good, thank you 😊I agree, buffets are so fun because you get to have a little of everything! I used to eat as much as I could when I went and wasn’t mindful at all of what might be healthier options. Trying to change my habits one step at a time. 🙉

Thank you so much for this info! I love the idea of having a go-to repeat serving every time! Once it’s all logged in here I’ll better know every time how to stay within my budget! We tend to go at the same location about once a month, so it’d be good if I came up with a set plan like yourself. Thanks 😃

Ah good point for the chicken balls that makes sense given the batter. The wings at this location don’t seem to be sauced, they’re rather “dry” but very salty hehe. Thanks I hadn’t thought of that, I’ll see if I can find the nutrition facts for other Chinese buffet places as that location doesn’t have anything of the sort.…

YUM, I love this idea, thank you so much! Will definitely add this to my lunch rotation 😍 sounds filling!

Thank you, this does help! I will load up on chicken, veggies and fruit and see if they do have egg drop soup at that location. I know they have wonton soup, I’m not sure if that would be a “good” option? I like the idea of partly filling prior to the lunch, I’ll definitely do that too - hadn’t even crossed my mind! Thanks…

Thank you SO MUCH! I’ve only just started counting calories on Monday, so I’m still very new to this and unknowledgeable sadly. I will steer clear of noodles and rice and aim for veggies and soups! 😃 Do you think wings and chicken balls would be a “good” choice since it’s meat and likely high protein?

Thanks! Just accepted you. 😃

Thank you! Added you 😃

Sandwiches are an easy one I didn’t think of, and endless possibilities, thank you! And wow zucchini noodles with chicken and marinara sauce sounds DELICIOUS! I’ll definitely try that out 😍

Mmmm! Never thought of soup. It can even be frozen to save prep time, thank you so much 😊

That is expensive! But they could work for the occasional splurge or treat. Thank you so much. 😊

Any age groups, just friendly active members. 😊 I’ll add you!

I’ve never had purple yams and you’re making me want to try them!! Hahaha nice meal ideas thanks !! 😊

I’m new as well and also looking for active friends with open diaries to get inspired with meal/snack ideas and to keep myself motivated and hold myself accountable!! I’m adding you MrsJones 😊

I’m going to add you! You’re going to be my first friend on the app, lol!!

I have the same calorie budget 1200. Feel free to add me if you’d like. My diary is Open to Friends on the app. We could see each other’s meals/snacks and hopefully inspire each other. 😊

I feel like keeping it varied is KEY to sticking to good eating habits. Thanks for your comment. 😊

The ones I indicated are work. But I’m looking for any ideas, home or work. 😊

Thank you!!! :smile:
