Daily Wrap-up

Overall, I would say that I did ok today. My biggest disappointment was the Pick-up Stix lunch. When I went through and looked at the components I found that the meat was fried and rather high in fat. The broccoli and brown rice were good sources of vitamins and carbohydrates but overall I wasn't really pleased. This is a good example of how it can be tough to ascertain what you are eating when you are out and about. Although busy schedules sometimes get in the way of planning our entire day, it is just plain easier to know what you are eating if you prepare the majority of your meals (I know I could have done a bang up job with my own beef and broccoli!). When you do go out I would recommend picking restaurants where you can ask how something is prepared or even request they do it differently. I bet you would be surprised how willing many restaurants are to make modifications!
