Reply #36: Well the having to work for meat is true [View All]

And as to holidays, the stuffing one self to the gills is part of the tradition of feasts going back as far as we can remember as a species

As I said, we, in the US, have far more of the stuff than we probably should, as most Americans eat more than four oz of meat\chicken in a meal, or an egg, or 6 oz of fish. I try to keep our servings to the recommended standards (given hubby is very active at work, he needs the protein), and to lean cuts. He's a postal worker, on average he walked nine miles in a shift)

I do the cooking... so that makes it easy

As to mickey Ds, funny thing, their chicken nuggets are probably the healthiest they offer, including the salads, and even that they managed to ruin with the portion size. Goes to show, they've gone from 6 nuggets and 200 calories, which is reasonable (and 19 grams of carbs and i exchange of fat) once in a while, to ten nuggets, at 320 calories and down right not that healthier, not healthy, just healthier any more

Still we do go to mickey Ds every so often, We used to order two combos and the rest, These days hubby orders a burger, I order a combo, we share the fries... and they look at us weird every time... it is funny... I mean no super-sizing, and even then I end off throwing some of that away.

Even fast food is ok, but in moderation

Yes, that also goes with that intuitive eating
