Yeaaaa me!! I’m still going to the gym 5-6 days a week! I’m feeling great and have a lot more energy. I’m counting my calories and watching what I’m eating. I’ll splurge every once in a while but my splurges are small and few and far between.
Are you too busy to plan out every meal? Yea, it happens to me too sometimes. Here are a few of on-the-go meals that I lean on when I’m out and about for the day:
Taco Bell – Fresco Taco (150 calories)
Fresco tacos omit the cheese and add the fresh tomato salsa. I think this salsa has much more taste than cheese and is virtually calorie and fat free! Yummy!
McDonald’s – Bacon Ranch Salad with grilled chicken and basalmic dressing (230 calories)
If you’re on a diet you probably know that fast food is not the best choice. Thankfully, even McDonald’s has some healthier choices. This salad is on the top of my favorite list. At only 230 calories, it’s fast, flavorful and good for you! Make sure to get your chicken grilled and skip the ranch dressing. I always ask for low fat balsamic vinaigrette (40 calories) and it’s scrumptious!
Subway: Black Forest Ham on Wheat (280 calories)
Make sure you skip the cheese ( I just give it to my kids) and just say no to the full flavor dressings such as mayo. If you must have something on your sandwich, Subway does have a few fat free dressings such as mustard or honey mustard that you may want to try. Pile on those veggies for hardly any extra calories!
Since you can grab a footlong for just $5, buy one and save the other half for lunch the next day! If you do this, skip the dressing or get it on the side so it won’t get soggy.
So there are a few on my favorite on-the- foods. What are yours? I’d love a few more options!
