Today I took some friends to the airport and because I hadn't eaten anything yet I was starving. On the way back, I stopped at Jack in the Box and got the new Mini Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich combination. This was 3 mini chicken sandwiches - each with a mini all white meat homestyle chicken filet, creamy ranch, and Frank's® RedHot® Sauce and a small natural cut french fries.Here is the nutritional information for this fast food indulgence:

Were they worth the calories and fat? Well, today they were but, if I were being diligent and really watching what I was eating, frankly, not really. For 1000+ calories, I could have had a lot more food. Maybe something with cheese on it. I LOVE cheese! Working cheese into a healthy eating plan will be one of the most challenging things because I really adore cheese. Throughout this process, I suspect cheese will be a major topic of discussion and consideration.
Anyway, 3 days and 7 meals left until the launching of Operation Fat Girl.
Wonder what's for dinner?

Oh cheese is one of my favourites too... but it shouldn't be too hard to work it in to your plan, just make it small amounts. While it is high in fat, it does have other benefits. I use cheese (a nice sharp cheddar) as my "it's almost time for bed, but I'm hungry" food. A couple of thin slices off the brick tend to calm my cravings.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. I probably should pre-cut a few slices and put them in some snack bags so that I won't be tempted to have just one more slice ... and one more ... and one more! :)
