I thought it would be helpful if we started a thread about healthy entrees we like to eat at our favorite restaurants. That way we might try something new and still lose weight.
Well, I don't go out to a lot of different places, but when I do grab something I get:
Wendy's
small chili (4 pts)
small chili with 2 packets of crackers (5 points)
Grilled chicken sandwich and ask for it on a regular bun (6 points)
99 cent crispy chicken sandwich (9 points). I don't get this too often, just from time to time if that's all I want.
Lite Lemonade - zero points (5 calories per 8 or 12 oz.) Can't remember exactly. I always get a small.
Burger King
Tendergrill Garden Salad without croutons and adding 1 packet of fat free ranch dressing (6 points). It's 5 points if you can live without dressing.
McDonald's
Ice Cream Cone (3 points)
Egg McMuffin (7 points) - I don't get this very often, but I know it's always an option for me if I'm out running around and I need breakfast.
I haven't tried a salad there yet, but I'm probably going to go and try the southwest salad for dinner tonight.
Subway
6" turkey breast and ham on wheat without cheese, toasted (5 points)
6" club on wheat without cheese, toasted (6 points)
6" oven roasted chicken breast on wheat without cheese, toasted (6 points)
Chicken Noodle Soup (2 points)
1 Bag of Light Chips (think they're ruffles) (1 point)
Sometimes I'll add light mayo to my sandwiches for another point.
I think that's about it (that I can think of anyway). Like I said, I don't go a lot of places.
My faves are
Subway
6" turkey on wheat with loads of veggies, no cheese, lots of mustard and light chips all for 6pts
Wendy's
the same as Aimee!
Chick-fil-a
Grilled Chicken sandwich, I ask for the packet of FF honey mustard dressing and just use a little of that instead of the sauce that comes with it.
