Stupid salad, I should have looked it up before eating it. The hubby and I were running late for work this morning, and we didn't get our snacks/lunches packed for the day {sad face}so we ran over to McAllister's Deli for lunch. I was wanting a big crunchy salad, so I went for my old standby of the Southwest Cobb Salad. It consists of mixed greens, a corn relish, chicken breast, tomatoes, guacamole & chipotle ranch dressing with tortilla chips on the side. I don't care for their guac and I never eat the chips so I handed that over to the hubs.
I started by adding about half of the portion of dressing they give you...and I should have stopped there! I ended up adding all of it, and found out afterwards that the dressing alone was 420cals!!!! Are you kidding me? I just ate an 850cal salad, what if I would have eaten the guac & chips???? UGH. My normal lunch is the same amount of calories as the dressing alone. Thank goodness it kept me full until just now when I came home for dinner #1.
Today's food consisted of:
Breakfast - 1 whole grain waffle w/ peanut butter, honey, banana & chia seeds {318cals}
PostWorkout - 1/2 of a Svelte Cappuccino Protein shake {130cals}
Lunch - Southwest Cobb Salad minus the chips & guac from McAllister's {850cals}
Dinner #1 - slice of leftover pizza and a huge bowl of watermelon {395cals}
Dinner #2 - 1c. of peas, a serving of deli turkey chopped up, 1/2 a serving of cottage cheese, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese & red pepper flakes {225cals}
Snack - Blackberries {60cals}
Calories left for the rest of the night - {90cals}
In the weightroom I started with 3x4 Hang Cleans {165, 185, 195} Lat Pull Downs 3x10; Low Rows 3x8; Shoulder Press 3x8; Assorted Core. Felt really good except for the tweak in my shoulder during cleans. I saw the trainer and started treatment for a strained muscle behind my shoulder blade, but it won't hold me out of anything as long as it doesn't increase pain.
