TGI Fridays

At a birthday meal with friends and family at TGI Fridays earlier this evening. I had a vegan burger with crunchy fries and garlic bruschetta starter. Looking at the totals for the day in MyFitnessPal it's a good job we left before the birthday cake. And I forgot to add the beer I had.

No problem enjoying a treat every now and again.😊

Processed vegan food can be very high in calories, salt and sugar not to mention the preservatives. My husband is always coming back with packaged vegan food, then looks crestfallen when I point out how unhealthy it is. Occasional treat for sure but it's a real trap to fall into.

Having moved from vegetarian to vegan I am realising that the nutrition aspects need to be carefully looked into to make sure your diet is balanced and not lacking the essential nutrients. .

Hope you enjoyed it though

You’re right it is a trap you can easily fall into. When new vegan products came out I occasionally bought them to be supportive and now have something every now and then if I fancy it but it’s not food you want to be living on.🌱🙂

"My husband is always coming back with packaged vegan food, then looks crestfallen when I point out how unhealthy it is..." My wife and daughter are doing the same and It's difficult to try and get them to stop when they think they're being super helpful!

Haha 😂 glad you did leave before the cake but it’s got to be done sometimes 🥳
