Cora and I went to the Toronto FanExpo this weekend and hoped it would result in this amazing post about choosing low-calorie foods while on vacation. Having now done the vacation part, I have one thing to say on the matter: Eating out while on a diet sucks!
We had several factors working against us on this. One being that we were at an event that ran all day so we didn't get dinner until roughly around 9 or 10 in the evening. We packed sandwiches and apples for the day, but cheated by getting hotdogs one day because we were sick of peanut butter and jam. (And because the hotdogs were the cheapest things to eat there.) When we did go out, we were generally starving and exhausted. The menus didn't come with convenient calorie information and our online calorie counter didn't have the restaurants in it's database.
Having only done this diet for three weeks, I didn't feel confident enough to make decisions on what looked lower calorie than other things. I knew the obvious - pasta bad, salad good - but what about stone oven pizza? What about a Reuben on rye? I tried not to feel guilty for my choices, and I did walk a hell of a lot! I guess the scale will tell me how I did in the end and I'll just have to learn for next time.That being said, we had a great time and as promised, here are some pictures of us in strange costumes...
Overall Rating of Eating Out:
Tastiness: 4/5
Fills My Tummy: 4/5
Convenience: 5/5
Stuck to my diet: NO!!
