Carb notebook
Sep. 27th, 2008 12:15 amAnd it's Wendy's for the win!
I've been trying different fast-food places to see which ones work best with my low-carb lifestyle - when we're on the road, Arn and I just don't stop at sit-down restaurants and ya know, a beef hot dog from 7-11 can only be faced so often. So. I've learned that Hardee's hamburgers are null - no flavor at all, which is disturbing, McDonald's seems to have rules against serving a burger without a bun, which means that most of your cheese ends up on the [unedible] bun but the burgers have flavor. I haven't tried Burger King yet but I suppose I will. But Wendy's - well. They are just fine with serving a burger without a bun in their baked potato container (stays hot), that you can eat with a fork (McDonald's didn't have forks, they said, which meant I had to eat my burger with my fingers). It could be better with a little extra salt and pepper but I found it tasty nonetheless*. Instead of fries I got a side salad (scrape the carrot bits out, give the tasty (says Arni) cherry tomatoes to the hubby) with ranch dressing and a MinuteMaid sugar free lemonaid = 4 carbs and a happy tummy.
So now I have a plan for long trips and hot-food cravings.
In other news, we hit up Sam's Club for supplies today and greedy me now has fresh raspberries and a bag of macadamia nuts for those 'tired of everything else' moments. Mmmmm... raspberries. 9 countable grams of carb per cup. It's worth it. Especially after![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mmcnealy's suggestion of dousing them with cream...
*I also note that I found the amount of grease gathering at the bottom of the container rather alarming.
