I am freaking out because I will have to be out of town for 3 days during this 1000 calorie diet. So today I have been online looking at different place's menus to find appropriate choices for my dinner options. I can still pack my shakes in a cooler, I just won't have access to a microwave for the dinner. I have been amazed at just how bad our eating habits are getting out of control. I found site after site where most meals were at 800+ calories with many toppling into the 1000+ calorie mark. Then if you add any type of appetizer(which many alone were more than 1000 calories) You are basically eating your daily requirement in one meal. I knew things were bad, but I guess I was in denial about how bad eating out really was. Imagine most times when I have been out of town before eating 3 meals in restaurants. YIKES!!!! Plus the fact that portion sizes are out of control. Now that I am having this surgery, my future at restaurants is changing and quickly. I have been thinking of how I will have to tackle this event, because I know I won't always be able to avoid it. I have thought of how I will need to order kid size meals(which are getting out of hand as well...most charting at 600 calories), or just have my husband order something and ask for an extra plate. Do they even do that?? What I will be able to eat will hardly even fit in the palm of my hand and most places give you a hubcap size plate to eat from. I guess I will become the Queen of the Doggie Bag. :) Note* Olive Garden is a calorie overload mine field and it is one of my favorite places to go. :(
