Eating out on a fast day = not such a nightmare!

Hi everyone,
Yesterday was my 3rd fast day and I was dreading it because it included a meal out.  The quality may not be Michelin but the choice and flavours at Wetherspoons are quite good so I looked online and was really pleased to see that their menu not only has calories on it but there's an option to search for foods of certain calorie content.  Perfect for my fast meal out. http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/food/dietary-requirements

I chose a skinny chicken burger with salad and no dressing (429 with dressing) which I enjoyed very much after a breakfast of half a portion of porridge and black coffee.  One tip I recommend is, as the book says, eat very slowly and enjoy each mouthful.  I ate the burger with a knife and fork so it seemed more like a proper meal and put my cutlery down between each mouthful to make it last longer.  I was the last person to finish eating and because I was eating while everyone else was I didn't get jealous over their larger, yummier-looking meals.  One friend wanted a starter which I thought would be really difficult so after a quick chat she agreed to have it with her main - lovely friend.

I also found that diet coke worked wonders for my appetite last night with lots of lemon.  It hydrated me and the bubbles filled me up.

I hope your fast days are going well too.  Take care.
