Im sure Texas has restaurants like that. They could be right down the street and you wouldnt even know about it. Obviously, Im so blind.

Or you could come to Chowda town and try it out. Texas isnt so far..

JB - When are you going to start a journal?? :

I want to see what your eating.

 

[queenbee]

Yeah JB, me too! I might learn something!

Julie if you go to that restaurant let me know what it was like!

 

[Jodi]

Bison Patty (98% Fat Free) Single $6.99 / Double $8.75
No Bun. Served with mixed veggies and choice of white rice, brown rice, or roasted potato.

This is what I'm gonna get w/ Brown Rice of course!

 

[Julie7Ulie]

That sounds SooooOooo good!

**DRoOoOoOoOoOoL**

 

[JB_427]

Never had the buffalo burger, but the steak and turkey tips are so good. And all of the salads and wraps. Obviously, not wraps anymore, but it would be a semi-healthy cheat restuarant if you dont want to overload the junk IMO. The desserts are all healthy as well and everything can be altered.

Your food guy knows his stuff, Julie.

A journal? Ive always thought of myself as a lurker rather than a poster I think..

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Are pickles considered cucumbers?

And what do artichokes have the cant put them on the shopping list?

 

[Jodi]

You can have pickles just watch your sodium.

I'm not sure, I've never had an artichoke. I'll look this one up and get back to you.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

New invention: Prep time = 15 minutes

Chicken Salad.

Canned chicken breast (yes canned - like tuna)
chopped celery
chopped onions
garlic powder
mustard
lots of black pepper

Mix it all together and add your serving of Mayo to add your fat.
Serve over baby spinach or romaine.

YUM.

No Pilates today.

Maybe I'll take a complete off day and make Sunday a cardio day. Maybe if its hot out I can run a couple miles, and then go SWIMMING

 

[Julie7Ulie]

I went to the Low Fat Know Fat place and it was YUMMY!
I had part of the sirloin tips over a bunch of broccoli and green beans. I even asked them to sprinkle brown rice on it since its my 5 g Carb meal.

My facts:
P = 31g or less (only had some)
C = 5 active
F= 12g or so

For your bison burger Jodi, heres the nutritional facts:

single:
P = 26g
C = 5 active
F = 2g
Cals = 154

double:
P = 50g
C = 5 active
F = 4g
Cals = 268

Its also connected to flex appeal (a supplement store) it was really cool.

I know they work together, but what burns fat the most? Diet, Lifting or cardio?

 

[Jodi]

Diet is 75% IMO

Remember though that each pound of muscle burns up to 50 cals a day. So the more muscle you have the more calories you burn

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Cardio mainly burns cals though right? depending on how much you put in? and when you burn enough cals is when the fat burns.. ?

If your glycogen stores are full then it just burns glycogen (cals yes) but not fat. Thats why you lift before you do cardio.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

What about some lift days w/no cardio? Am I still burning enough cals?

Im trying to figure out why you and DP suggested to limit my cardio to twice a week..

You said earlier that it takes away hard earned lean muscle. How does that happen exactly? i did a search and had no luck..

I ate one and a half of 'em as my second meal.

Nutritional facts:
Total Fat: 7g
Sat. Fat 0.5g
Cholesterol: 20 mg
Sodium 350 mg
Potassium : 150mg
Total Carb: 2g
Dietary Fiber: less than 1g

- it wasnt as bad as it COULD have been, right??

 

[Jodi]

No it wasn't but don't those things taste like shit.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

ABSOLUTELY

But Ive never had those things before. You know whats worse? The Met-Rx low carb bars. I used to eat those things last year. They have like 1 carb and a million grams of protein and taste like liquid sandpaper.

Im debating if I should have my cheat meal tomorrow or next sunday. Whatcha think?
