Being the official Self Appointed Diet and Low Calorie Food Taste Tester, I bring you today's recommendation. In May, Subway will be serving up their Orchard Chicken Salad sandwiches as their special $5 footlong. It's 360 calories per half (on plain white or whole wheat, no cheese or sauce - only free veggies), but it is a smidge higher in fat than some other sandwiches. Scott and I tested them out tonight. YUM! I would highly recommend, only I might have added banana peppers to mine for just a bit more flavor and Scott recommends against choosing pickles.
Also, we tried Special K's sea salt chips this week. They're nice and crispy, but not much better in either taste or calories than Baked Lays or those veggie chips we pick up at Costco. There is a significant difference in price for how many you get, which is the only reason I might vote against trying them yourself.
Additional notes: My highest weight, as mentioned before, was 330 lbs. I am now 238 lbs. Crawling up on the 100 lb mark feel really good, even if it's only 70 for the year. Update on Scott is down to 338 lbs which puts him him at 114 for the year. Whoo! Feeling some sense of accomplishment there! It's not quite a year yet, but by end of summer it will have been a year for us both.
A husband and wife team of educated and sometimes rebellious thoughts on the adventures of weight loss.
Who we are and why we are here:
'He' started out at 450 lbs. 'She' started out at 300 lbs (although had been as high as 330 lbs at one point). Between them they've lost weight, gained weight, and learned a lot along the way.
What you'll find here are our educated thoughts, opinions, and tips for a healthier lifestyle. 'He' minored in psychology, 'she' majored in history - two research heavy fields that have made them both skeptical and able to weed through the sludge in order to find gems. Neither of us is perfect by any means, but as much as possible, we will try not to lead you astray with unfounded, sensational, or fad information.
