You are better of ordering a Turkey Breast wrap. 190 calories, 18 carbs

ewww that does seem high in carbs....I promise not to make a habit out of Subway but I always figure that it is the least of the evils out there.

Let me ask another question.......Most times I will get grilled chicken at a resturant with grilled onions and mushrooms...yummy
BUT...I got to thinking, should I be asking what they grill with? Hell, for all I know they are baking in lard. lol
Any suggestions with this?
I will usually put a little bit of light olive oil on my chicken or fish before baking so it doesn't dry out...so they may be putting something on it before cooking.

Sure ask them what they cook it in... it probably is fat & grease btw. You can say you have food allergies and need to know etc

Always try to order plain, or get things 'on the side'

ksharp...you say you are getting discouraged cause you are working out, eating healthy and still gaining weight. I'll let you all in on a lil secret. I weighed myself about 3 weeks ago and then again last night. I have gained 6 pounds but I look better than I did 3 weeks ago. I also feel much better. I am eating healthy and not tired of chicken yet. hahahaha My clothes seem to be fitting me better although my pants are getting a lil tighter in my legs, YAY!

don't worry about the weight. Your best scale is the mirror and pictures. I will post some then and now pictures in a few more weeks. I have not weighed this much in a long damn time and I am not getting back on the scale again till I am ready to post the pics.

Weight is just the sum total of the weight of your bones, muscle, bodyfat and water. Doens't really give you much to make assumptions on "I'm getting fat".... Look at what that weight is composed of - fat vs muscle --> bodyfat ratio. Get that measured if you can via the calipers , 7 or more skinfold points. Otherwise just go by how you look.

I know what yall are saying is true but that is just it, I'm not FEELING better YET!! But I have eaten alot of chicken from resturants.......that could of been holding me back if cooked in fat!! I am going shopping this weekend and getting some things to bring myself. Then I'll know for sure what is going in!
I have been to gym all this week with feisty and going back tonight to get just some cardio in because I do think I have been slack in that area but after I do weights (mainly legs) I just can't.
Baby steps right? I'll get there, just nice to have someone to talk to about it and some know what I am going through.

Kisses,

Restaurant chicken is easy if you stick to grilled stuff w/o a pile of sauce & shit on it.

Usually if I get anything on it, its just mushrooms and onions...

Alot of it is trial and error......tweek the diet...

Anyway, I know I am eating good and have been working out 4 days a week alternating body parts, I do cardio every night except nights I am doing legs. Abs are done after cardio.

Diet is key here and you may want to try HIIT cardio 3xweek instead of every night. In my own experience, I STOPPED all cardio and focused on weight training and tweaking the eating habits. I lost bodyfat more easily than I had ever done in the past. The routine I followed was Shadow's Plan.

Sometimes restaurants saute the shrooms and onions in fat. Something to consider.
