Eating out and dieting!
I can't do it. We only eat out once a month and that is at Subway to get a veggie delite. I found I could not control my portions, my calories or fat grams. One time in particular was when I had a fried fish, hush puppy and french fry dinner and the next day the scale registered a 4 pound gain. I have since learned my body will not tolerate fried foods and since this revelation they are omitted.
Here is a news blurb: "At most restaurants, customers are left to guess how many calories they're consuming. The government soon may try to change that by requiring or encouraging restaurants to display calories on their menus alongside the salads, entrees and desserts.
The Food and Drug Administration said that labeling menus is among several proposals it is considering to help people watch what they eat."
If your weight loss or healthy diet is not working, I ask you to examine how often you eat out. Sure, like you, I appreciate someone else doing the cooking (also serving and dishes) but what part does eating out play in your role to health and weight loss? Are you in favor of the FDA requiring this information in restaurants?
