Hi all,
I did cambridge diet and am counting calories now to find a good balance for myself. I hope it's okay to barge in here with my questions!
It's working quite well so far and I've made a lot of good choices but there are also things that worry me.
Today, I was away from home and had a low cal but very filling breakfast (crackers with no sugar jam etc) because I knew I'd be eating out in the afternoon.
We went to get a sandwich and I chose something I thought relatively healthy compared to the other options but when I calced the calories (worst case scenario!) it had about 350. (We'd already been to 2 other places which I brushed off as ''unhealthy'' *embarassed about obsessiveness*)
I'm terrible at asking at a counter ''does it have this, does it have that'' and I feel like a pain in the ass getting the people I'm with to go somewhere else when I don't think the food is ... healthy enough.
I know 350 calories isn't really a lot for a meal but it just ... shocked me because I thought it'd be less.
My question is, how do you make healthy low cal choices when you eat out? Any tips?
Thanks
