Yesterday was Monday which means weigh in day. So far my journey has been very successful. There is something I learned this week which I would like to share with you. First be very careful when are at a restaurant and you see the word "salad" to many people including myself when I see the word "salad" I think it has to be healthy. Not always true is what I found out. My discovery came when we decided last Friday night to go to O'Charley's for dinner. I had remembered a website which contained dozens of restaurant points conversions, so I looked at O'Charley's trying to figure out what I could eat for dinner. For the beginning I was going to get one of their signature salads, southern fried chicken salad and what I discovered next will shock you like it shocked me. Below is the nutrition information for the salad:
Southern Fried Chicken Salad - w/Honey Mustard Dressing - 1 order(1803 cal/85 g fat/10 g fiber/173 g carbs) 41 (42.5)
That right there about made my jaw drop! After seeing that I realized that I could eat my favorite meal at O'Charley's for a lot less points than eating the salad. I got the buffalo Chicken sandwich with Low Calorie Ranch which was 11 pts and a side order of mashed potatoes instead of fries which were 4 pts, I took about two bites of the potatoes. So be very careful what you order. My advice would be to review the website before you go out to eat! They say planning your meals is a great way to lose weight.
