Thursday night we left the Allen Events Center after watching an unfortunate defeat of the Wichita Thunder against the Allen Americans with food on the brain. I wasn't starving since I had a snack of leftover macaroni and cheese, potato cakes and blaukraut before we left to go to the game, but I knew I would need food before bed. There was a Chick-fil-A immediately outside the arena so Steven stopped to get some dinner since he did not have a snack before we left.
I have been trying to control my intake for a while to get back to my pre-wedding weight. With holiday season upon us it has been that much more difficult. I know I am not successful every day, but every day that I am is a step in the right direction.
Anyway to the point of the story, I had hoped to order a kids size chicken sandwich but they don't have such a thing on the menu. Steven convinced me to just eat half of a normal sandwich and it would be fine. I think I actually ended up eating less that half, but let's just say half for easy math. According to their website a chicken sandwich is 430 calories so that left me with 215 plus the Guinness I had while watching the game that is 126 calories. 341 total.
I think I am ok with that. Obviously it isn't everything I ate yesterday, but it really could have been much worse. What I did learn out of this though is that there are options at Chick-fil-A that I had never considered. The big eye opener was to ask for no butter on the chicken sandwich and it saves 30 calories. I will give it a go next time and see how much the taste is affected.
