My husband and I take our daughter out for dinner each week after her basketball game. I used that as my free meal for the week. We really don't eat fast food, but since she had a friend with her and we were thinking about going out the next evening (for my day off), we decided to use some coupons & hit Del Taco for some cheap eating. After eating I added my meal up on myfitness pal & nearly cried. 1000 calories for my bean & cheese burrito & quesidilla. 1000 calories! I had been running a little under 1200 calories per day since we started this. And Del Taco's food tasted horrible, it wasn't worth the 1000 calories & I'm sure the beans are made with lard.
I rode home in guilt and decided to forfeit my glass of wine to make up for the damage done. The following day for my day off I decided not to log my food on myfitness pal. I chose to eat pretty healthy throughout the day. I also decided to stay in & make my own healthy dinner with a naughty little spin.
I found a recipe on how to make restaurant style tofu: https://www.greenbuffalofood.com/blog/2012/02/cooking-restaurant-style-tofu-the-quick-healthy-way/
It turned out perfectly. I threw in some mixed nuts, red peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, & snap peas. I put it over some brown rice, drizzled a little orange sauce & a sprinkle of sesame seeds over the top. Guilt free - delicious eating! I also indulged in a few glasses of wine & some dried fruit for dessert! I felt much better about this then my crappy fast food experience.
