ackovach Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Hi everyone!!! I get banded on Friday. And I am totally obsessing & planning about the changes I am making in my life to make the band work for me. I eat on the run SO much. So I have started a list of quickies...... What do you guys do when you don't have enough time to plan? Here are a few of my ideas: Small Wendy's Chili Boars head low sodium turkey thin slices Tuna or chicken salad baked tilapia
julieburns Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 I use some sort of protein shake when I am really in a pinch. I know we shouldn't rely on these and I don't very often. I keep a few in my car so if I have no options all I need is a cup of ice and walah...lunch, dinner or snack!!
Kittycat Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 I grab either Wendy's chili or their chicken strips. Yummy!!!

mistyband Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 At Burger King I order a Whopper Patty by itself...sometimes I get veggies with it(Low Carb)....They are really good by themselves or you can get them to put some A1 sauce in a cup for you, and you can eat a little of that on your patty or patties...Really good....Or you can get a salad! Good Luck!
Musiclover Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 McDonalds - Grilled chicken snack wrap with buffalo sauce and a yogurt parfait. Subway - Sweet Onion Teriyaki chicken but on a bed of lettuce instead of with bread. I want to try the Wendy's salads but haven't had a chance yet, they look pretty good.
Kim2BSlim Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Wendy's chili is great. Sometimes I do a 5 pc. of their nuggets. It really fills me up and only has about 200 cals. The snack wraps at McDonald's always make me sick..I don't know why!
lynzz Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 I am a fan of a Subway turkey or chicken breast on whole wheat, no mayo and lots of veggies. I eat the insides first, and eat only a portion of the top bun last if still hungry.

Have you said that out loud OMG that's fantastic. What have you been doing as far as eating goes? Let us all know your routine. Reneej
mom12 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Chick Fil A Nuggets are very moist and not quite as heavily breaded. I had them today but still only got down 2 before I felt like a stuffed turkey at Thanksgiving. I love my band now that I have restriction.
Kimmy in MD Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 I started bringing a package of turkey bacon to the office with me. I am able to microwave 3 slices in the morning for breakfast. It is high in protein, low carb and low cal. about 100 calories for 3 slices. The microwave cooks it crispy even. This has been incredibly convenient!!

Kimra Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Kimra,Girl I just realized you've lost 60 pounds. Have you said that out loud OMG that's fantastic. What have you been doing as far as eating goes? Let us all know your routine. Reneej AWE!! Thanks! Honestly.. I haven't even had a fill yet, I have no restriction at all... this is just will power baby! LOL! I have just been cutting back as if I had been filled and making sure to get all my protein in and staying away from carbs. 900-1200 Calories a day. Seems to be workin all right.. thanks so much for noticing!
Paula Bee Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 I like the small Wendy's chili if I am close to Wendy's and not driving. I also ALWAYS take a protein bar with me in my purse; they have saved me many times already. I don't do anything with bread after my HORRIBLE pb episode after getting a small burger at Micky D's.
MamaMichelle Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 You guys are making me so hungry for all my old favorites... Luckily there is no Krystal Burger here nor a Chick-fil-a so I guess I am safe! I love the chicken caesar salad from Wendy's... I only eat 1/2 of the salad with 1 packet of dressing and save the rest for my next meal!

OMG I haven't thought about Krystal's in a long time. We live in NC, but orginally from Cols,GA/Phenix City,AL. Thanks for the memory
