Paradise Bakery - Lunch

Where it all started...our discussion came about from eating at Paradise. I (Amy) had been aggravated by lack of low-cal choices at yummy resteraunts from my previous nights experience (at Yardhouse). So Sharon and I decided to start figuring out meals at 500 calories (or 10 points) each to eat at various resteraunts.

My first choice?

Half a Turkey Club Sandwich (no mayo, just mustard) - 5 points
Small Caeser Salad (dressing on the side, less than half the container) - 3 points
1 Oatmeal Chocolate Chipper - 2 points

---
Note: Had to have the chipper. Remember, this is not only about losing weight, but filling full. Granted this meal may not always accomodate my hunger, but I'm proud I stuck with one whole chipper only and I feel satisfied. I choose to have higher calorie lunches and dinners because of my active social life, so usually I have low point breakfasts. Everyone is different. But my goal is 24 points a day, roughly 1200 calories.

Welcome to Skinny Lunches.

Sharon and I have been watching what we eat on and off for quite a while now. And one consistent aggravation we have is when we go out, what do we eat?

We could have 1 cup of salad and suffer through the meal, but why do that? And admittedly, we eat out ALOT.

So we're putting together a blog to help others like us eat a meal that is filling and low in calories. Our goal is to only post meals here under 500 calories and don't leave us wanting for more.

Sharon will be posting her meals in calories, while I, will be posting mine in WW points. This should give you a good persepctive and options from two women with different tastes and weight loss processes, but ultimately the same goal.
