eating out

One of the biggest challenges we face when trying to shed inches is how to eat out and still lose weight
Compared to years ago there were not as many options to eat out restaurants were one of the few options and only an occasional treat - not to mention closed on sundays and limited weekend trading
Now with many fast food chains food courts and burger type places there is plenty more variety and availability we have the option of finding meals on the go more often.

Challenging as it is  - this is still our choice to eat out or to cook at home
so when we do choose to eat out then we have to consider do we want fatty food something kind-of-healthy or something we know is good for us?

A favourite go to meal with my family is subway (topped off with a nice yummy coffee or as the kids would have hot chocolate from say Starbucks)  it is a pretty good option with some ideal low on fat subs especially the likes of the roast chicken - watching the processed carbs easy they do any of the subs as salads on request which in itself is pretty cool and make it fairly easy

Okay next challenge - wanting something different
and calories counting - so Chinese from the food court looks quite nice rice cant be that bad for you can it.... well beware of this healthy innocent sounding foods some of these sauces that coat everything are high in caloric values!

Macdonalds - do have there options of low points (weight watchers) ... low cal (Calorie counting) but then you fall into the but that looks nicer... or that would be good with it trap.....

KFC - evil incarnate some days like when someone suggests a double down those bun-less burgers not necessarily a good idea..

So a few nights ago as previously posted we explored other options (at home)- we had a nice fake-away night at home -- the grill served burgers made to order that was cool - shared with friends even cooler - how did it go ....
our 9 year old made devilled eggs then ate nearly all of them too and she then didnt want her burger any sausages or her serve of homemade ice cream.... lemon icecream as well
dam nice too and hardly any sugar as well which is a bonus

Tonight treating the girls to subway no other options for them has to be healthy fulling and give them plenty of energy to boot plus we view it as a reasonable expense no dishes and spend about $6 per person as get 2 foot longs and have half each which is nice


happy exploring when not at home - check out what is friendly to those whom want lower carbs fresh veg high protein most of those options will give us a good choice to help to watch our waist lines and keep our energy up as well
