Chad - In: Droppin Data

Today I accidentally skipped breakfast. That is a lie, you don’t accidentally skip breakfast. For most people at least 15 years of their life was spent having their mother shove a pop tart or biscuit in their mouth while they run out the door to catch the bus. Breakfast is the same time every day, it is always there, you don’t forget it. I was lazy, got up late, and just said screw it, I don’t have time for it. Which is something I shouldn’t have done, but I did. Getting 400-500 calories each morning is something I should do, it helps keep me from walking down to the coffee shop and getting a bagel or something worse (read choco taco).
So I made it through the day without the breakfast, had a good lunch, then wanted to go out for Dinner. Jennie and I ended up going to Logan’s Roadhouse. We love that place, she always gets the same thing (Kickin Chicken Salad) and I usually get the Logan’s Grilled Chicken. That is Chicken, Rice Pilaf and 2 sides. *SKKKKKIRTTTTT* Yeah two sides. Who needs two sides, I have a giant piece of chicken, a cup or so of rice, do I really need the fries and a baked potato. The answer is no. So I just got a sweet potato as one side and give Jennie some apples. The daily plate had data for the chicken (~288 calories) they however did not for the sweet potato and rice pilaf. When that is the case I usually just do some substitutions and error on the side of more than probably what I actually ate. I went with the rice pilaf from Red Lobster and just said 2 servings (~280 calories) and 1.5 servings of a Dole sweet potato (~195 calories). It also came with their peppercorn Parmesan dressing on the side (.25 servings or ~40 calories). So all in all around 800 calories for dinner at Logan’s. Is that number exact, no, but it is close enough where I think it is correct.

A simple (and slightly boring) blog about trying to publicly record steps to lose weight for a fat guy. And by fat I mean sexy. Nah I mean fat.
