She was driving so I decided to go wherever she wanted to eat and look over the menu coming up with the best meal I could without going over my cals, carbs and protein. We went to one of my favorite places - Captain D's. I love their fish! I know - it has breading. I ended up ordering 2 pieces of fish and slaw. I had them eliminate the fries, which didn't bother me because I'm not that big of a fry fan. But they did put 2 hushpuppies on my plate. So tempting! And I drank my usual - water.
I ate both pieces of fish after soaking them with the beloved Malt Vinegar, half my slaw, and yes -one hushpuppy.
When I got home I went straight to MyFitnessPal to see how bad I had done. I couldn't believe it. These were my results for what I ate.
2 pieces of fish - 360 cal., 4 carbs, 50 protein
slaw - 90 cal., 8 carbs, 1 protein
1 hushpuppy - 80 cal., 9 carbs, 1 protein
For a total of 530 calories, 21 carbs, and 52 protein
Not too bad for eating out. I did go over my carbs of about 20 per meal, as well as my 30 per meal of the protein. I'll just have to adjust this with my dinner. I think I'll eliminate my protein drink.
So, this just goes to show that you can eat out, you just have to be very careful with what you eat.
