The burgers were 4oz heavil...Gwen, great question. <br />The burgers were 4oz heavily processed patties for 340 calories each. The 4oz of 96% lean beef I used for my tacos was 140 calories. If I would have been scheduled there any longer, I likely would have eaten a patty with mustard. I was caught without a "holdover" snack.<br />The decision to wait to eat was based purely on calorie value Vs. how long I had to be there. <br />My entire lunch at home was 443 calories and much more satisfying than one of those burgers--even if i would have added a bun.<br />Thank you Gwen!! I did hang tough and it turned out to be worth it!<br />The handling of the compliments thing-- uh, yeah-- very much a learned deal along this road. I've never been a good compliment catcher.Sean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-72892547503048542792015-06-06T19:58:26.901-05:002015-06-06T19:58:26.901-05:00It was a calorie value decision.

They were small, too and heavily processed with several ingredients I wasn't sure about. <br />Had I been scheduled to be there much longer, my lack of preparation would have required me to have something--and I would have "invested" in one with mustard. Luckily, I was done at two pm--and really close to my apartment! <br />Yes--feels good for that hangup to no longer govern how I dress.<br />I agree with you--it was lunch time and I would have been completely within reason to eat there. <br />I just knew if I waited, I could eat a much more filling and nutritious meal at home for a better overall calorie value.<br />Thank you, Deb!

But...I'm puzzled as to why you couldn't have just had a couple of hamburger patties, without the bun, to eat, then you could have eaten a snack at home if you needed it to fill in. I mean it was lunch time, so you wouldn't have been eating out of impulse, and you had beef later...<br /><br />Rather than sitting here trying to figure that out, I'm asking---S'up with that? Your blood sugar must have been in the basement by the time you ate. Not good.<br /><br />Nice about the shirts. I remember how you struggled with that in the past.<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
