Restaurants are dangerous for any diet, but for me there's nothing so likely to kill a diet than a trip to a favorite restaurant. Whether it's ordering too much pizza, eating a 5 Guy's large fry, or simply going to a pasta place and eating a crapload of spaghetti my favorite restaurants have a lot of ways to cause me to overeat. I mention this because I went to Saki's today. It's a reasonably good pizza place in Providence, but it's main claim to fame (personally that is) is that they have a really tasty steak and cheese sandwich. Getting that with french fries is a weakness (their fries are also good).
Fortunately, after going through My Fitness Pal and finding a similar sized meal, it turned out the meal was unhealthy but not horribly so. It basically translated into a dinner meal. What makes it most dangerous for me is that I have it at lunch, but then turn around and still have a full dinner. Today I was able to control that, and I consider that an accomplishment. A really minor one, but still significant.
Food today: egg and cheese sandwich with multivitamin for breakfast (257 calories), steak and cheese sandwich and fries for lunch (930 calories), dinner was chicken tenders and steak fries as well as another gummi (555 calories), snack was a half-serving of Honey Nut Cheerios after exercise (165 calories).
Exercise today: in addition to 18,000 steps I also did an hour on the exercise bike (599 calories).
