…I’m thinking Arby’s
Last night we tried making a halibut fish dish, called Creamy Baked Halibut. It was basically a couple halibut steaks, baked in the oven with a sour cream, chives and dill sauce on top. I don’t know if we got bad hailbut or what, but it was disgusting. It’s unfortunate, because it was only 127 calories per serving, and packed with good stuff for your body.
Instead? We planned out, and went to Arby’s for dinner. Now that I’m even watching out for trans fats and/or partially hydrogenated oils, it’s a little tougher to eat out too. Nonetheless, we planned everything before we left the house, and both of us managed to stay under our calories for the day — I actually even had to eat some ice cream as a snack later in the day to make sure I hit my budget… it’s a tough life! The cool thing though, is that now that we’re portioning better, what used to be a $12 - $15 trip to Arby’s was only a $6.72 trip to Arby’s this time. We just got the 5 for $5.95 deal and split up what we ordered. Worked fantastic.
See, diets are not only good for our bodies, they’re good for our checkbooks!
