Sometimes There Is a Better Fast Food Choice

Yesterday afternoon I was visiting my Mum in hospital (she had an operation on Wednesday on her smashed ankle) and we didn't leave until 6:30ish so Bron and I were both getting pretty hungry.

We had another couple of errands to run and it was after 7pm and we were starving.

We had a couple of options for dinner.

1) Go home to a fridge that was empty and try and whip up an omlette with very little veggies on hand - which would've been an extra hour later.

2) Stop at any fast food place and just go to town and get whatever.

3) Go to the same fast food place and order something that resembles a half decent meal.

What choice did we take?

You get 10 points if you selected choice number 3.

We went to Red Rooster and got ourselves one of their roast chicken and veggie meal with a bottle of water.

The veggies were pumpkin, peas and potatoe.

Surprisingly it didn't taste too bad.

Just remember to tell them to hold the gravy. I didn't get it on mine, but Bron did and it was swimming around, very watery and unappealing to look at.

I also cut off the skin from the chicken and didn't eat the stuffing.

While that wasn't the best option that we could've had for dinner on the run, it was better than the other choice at Red Rooster of the Chicken Burger and Chips meal.

So, you can still stick to your healthy eating meal plan when on the road or if you have an empty fridge.

Luckily today was shopping day, so we are stocked up and fully loaded of good gear for the week ahead!
