Whats safe to eat in a pub salad? (food mentioned) - MiniMins.com

miss jelly tot · 26th November, 2009

Help! I have a meal out Saturday with the family and have already phoned the pub and asked what they do.
They were happy to do a cheese salad. Now it takes quite a bit to throw me out of ketosis but what bits of the salad should I be safe with and what to avoid? I know cheese has zero carbs and I can get away with a little of that (personally) but I cant just eat the lettuce

onlyme! · 26th November, 2009

I hope a CDC will answer better than me however I think you are meant to stick to GREEN salad?! also please be careful because cheese does have carbs in it

Hence why they limit it on atkins

enjoy your meal out xx

lottie*** · 26th November, 2009

ohhh i didnt know cheese had carbs in it? i thought it was just really high in fat- which it is too then! miss jelly tot why dont you ask if they can do plain chicken breast with the salad? im sure a few lettuce leaves wont do too much damage. i know tomatoes have carbs in case you come across them! xx

miss jelly tot · 26th November, 2009

Thanks well I may just push the cheese around a bit as I dont know which cheese it will be

I always buy the no carbs one but thats a very good point. I think cucumber will be fine. Doesnt sound very exciting

mince · 26th November, 2009

cheese won't knock you out of ketosis (CDC confirmation please!), but it is high in fat as lottie mentioned. watch out for dressings, and croutons!

onlyme! · 26th November, 2009

I looked up the cheese thing then because I was worried i had dreamt it hehe - not all cheese has carbs in. this is what I found

Carbohydrates in Cheese

miss jelly tot · 26th November, 2009

Thanks lottie but im veggie and they dont do quorn as I have already asked. I forgot how unsociable this diet can be

I always get the one with no carbs but yes you are right about the fat it is high in calories

emmapetty · 26th November, 2009

Sometimes the salads can have more calories in than a steak!!! Not that I am telling you to eat a steak. lol - Lots of pubs do spit roast chicken, which may be better if you ate green veggies with it. I once went to the pub and had white fish, I left the new potatoes and ate the green beans that came with it. Do they have an online webiste with a menu that you can download? Sometimes this is a good idea to weigh your options. Before now I have put menu's on this website to ask peoples opinions of what is best - this helps!

miss jelly tot · 26th November, 2009

Thank emma, heres the link if anyone can help and the menu is on the left hand side 'main menu'

I dont eat big chunks of meat though. I was veggie for 20 years and have only just started nibbling tiny bits again so a steak or chicken breast is out of the question....I know Im strange lol

onlyme! · 26th November, 2009

oh I LIKE a big lump of meat!!

Haha me to but not to eat...well

Does anyone else think the wensleydale and pepper salad is a good choice? Wensleydale has zero carbs. The other option is chicken and bacon salad. Is a little bit of bacon allowed? (well not offically.)
Sorry if im going away from the allowed CD foods but some times social events come up and CD has to take the passenger seat

AlyB · 26th November, 2009

How about tuna? thats a good choice, Ive had tuna salad in pubs before. I just asked for a 'green' salad avoiding the tomato issue, cucumber is ok i think, and they usually give an interesting selection of 'leaves!'

miss jelly tot · 26th November, 2009

Thanks AlyB but I dont like fish, you never know where its swam lol.

Sorry im really awkward. I normally go for the rice. pizza or pasta dishes when im not on CD thats why im finding it so hard to choose.
Ummmh not looking foward to the 'leaves.' I very nearly said i wouldn't go because of CD (and have done in the past) but why miss out on a good night because of choice foods

AlyB · 26th November, 2009

What about eggs? They're ok, boiled egg and bacon??!

lottie*** · 26th November, 2009

miss jelly tot you should go!!! i think if you cut yourself off you eging to hate doing this and thats no winning combination, this is something im learning to do when we see our freinds ect, i sat with them last weekend whilst they all ate home made roast dinner.... mmmmm i had a shake!

have the cheese- dont feel bad, maybe just dont eat it all, ifs its any help i never thought it had carbs and frequently picked at it, and had it out with a meal too! its never done me any harm with my weigh ins, it has always been cheddar though. I wouls also have a shake just before u go as you wont feel too hungry then and you may not feel so bad about leaving any! goodluck and try and enjoy it! xx
