Today, I had a brief craving for fast food. I must be having junk food withdrawl. I am now coming to the end of week six so temptation is inevitable. I decided to do some research on fast food. OMG. I am now cured of my craving.
Here is what I found out about fast food meals:
1) One Chick Fil A Chicken Salad Cup = 9 WW points/350 calories/24 fat grams/1 gram of fiber
2) A Chick Fil A Sandwich = 9 WW points/430 calories/13 grams of fat/3 grams of fiber
3) Whopper with Cheese = 16 WW points/650 calories/39 grams of fat /770 mg of sodium/42 grams of Carbs
4) Big Mac = 14 WW points/590 calories/34 grams of fat/ 3 grams of fiber
5) Chicken Nuggets = 10 WW points/430 calories/25 grams of fat
Wow!!! I am no longer in the mood for fast food. I can opt for a delicious veggie burger with soy cheese for under 5 points with 12 sweet potato fries.
Challenge: Do your homework. What are you craving? Identify the problem and calculate the calories.
I finally understand the saying WE ARE WHAT WE EAT. I have had a lot of Whoppers, Big Macs and Chicken Nuggets in my lifetime...and look at me. I look like it. I actually started ordering the chicken salad cup as a low calorie alternative. The joke was on me. 430 calories worth of it.
Tip: The next time you are tempted to cheat do your homework. It helps.
Have a Veggie Good Day,
