Bob's Update

I know you're on the edge of your chair waiting to find out what we ended up doing about our Bob Evans breakfast this morning. I ordered Egg Lites (like Egg Beaters) a la carte and a cup of oatmeal with some chopped pecans. I also had decaf coffee. My husband had two eggs, over easy, and one multi-grain pancake. The waitress misunderstood my order and brought a bowl of oatmeal instead of a cup, so my husband ate half of that, too. 

It worked for both of us. We were each full enough to be satisfied, without the mega calories and fat. We will definitely do this again, instead of the 733 calorie omelet with 53 grams of fat. 

Investigate and be informed about what you and your family are eating. Not all restaurants provide nutritional information, but many do. Look around their websites (you may have to look hard). You can also take a look at the Eat This! Not That! books to get an idea of just what it is you've been eating. You will be amazed. And not in a good way.
