Lunch at the Wimpey

[Fresh2708]

Morning all, the team at work have decided to go out for lunch next week at the wimpey. Am going to look up the menu beforehand but concerned that when I get in there I'll "forget" my plan and go for the standard burger and chips.....Any tips gratefully received. Justine

Hi Fresh2708

Checking the menu before hand is a really good idea. Some menu's now have the calories for each meal included so have a look for that. If your meal is high in calories adjust the rest of the day, for example having a lighter breakfast or no snacks that day.

Hi Justine I think if you look up the menu and write down in advance what you're going to eat- you'll be just fine😀 it's hard to make suggestions as we don't know if you're just sticking with watching calories or watching carbs too so I guess you have several options- save up some calories so you can enjoy it, consider an option like chicken and salad if you're low carb or do what I've done which is ask for a "naked burger" without the sauces and just eat half the bap and order a salad with dressing on the side😀 I'm sure others will have suggestions and I'm sure once you've read the menu you'll have a better idea of what to do😀

Hi Clover-patch i am counting calories. Have had a look at the menu and selected a few options so I don't get tripped up on the day. Naked burger is a good idea (and is also making me smile Good luck for next week.....Keep it up! Justine
