Normally I don't talk too much on my blog about the stuff they talk about at weight watchers but this week was particularly interesting. We were talking about how people estimate calories. Especially if you eat out and you have no clue how many calories are in something? There are some tricks like your fist is a cup and the palm of your hand is 3oz of meat that is about as thick as a deck of cards. So here is a picture of a salad... Ponder for a minute how many calories you think it is... Then scroll down...
This salad is the T.G.I. Friday’s Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad it has 1,360 calories... WOW right? Well this can be shocking. I know we all know the warnings signs for many high calorie foods like fried or breaded. Just remember just because it has the word salad doesn't mean that it is good for you. Don't be afraid to order what you really want especially when you are out to eat. They are there to make you happy right? Check back soon for more shocking calorie shockers and tips!
