Got another one to add to the list...

Chicken strip basket at Dairy Queen!

I was over at my parents' house on Wednesday while they were babysitting my nephew, and by the time he left, it was getting late and no one eaten, so my mom offered to run to DQ and pick up dinner.  I got the 4 piece chicken strip basket, which is my usual there.  I hadn't eaten all day, so I knew I had plenty of calories saved up and didn't even think twice about it.

I got home, entered it on LoseIt, and about puked when I saw the calorie total...

1,340 calories!!!

That's for 4 chicken strips (with gravy... ew...), fries, and a soggy piece of "Texas toast."  Yuck!!!  Never again!  If I'm gonna ruin my whole day on DQ, I'd rather do it with a Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard!

We don't have that food place here, but that does sound like a lot of calories for what it is!

A great set of books is Eat This Not That. It gives you the best and worse choices at restaurants and when grocery shopping. You can even follow it on Twitter.

Another good one is Hungry Girl, http://www.hungry-girl.com/ She has a news letter that comes out every day plus a few books like 300 under 300 or 200 under 200. It's #of recipes under calories. The newsletter goes out once a day I believe.

Eat This Not That also has a newsletter. Can you tell I dont want to buy the books for either of these just yet? It's through Mens Health magazine and goes out once a day. http://eatthis.menshealth.com/home
