Q is for Quiznos, the Anti-Diet

The other day at work, the nurses were ordering out from Quizno's for lunch.  I have always loved them, but don't eat it much because it is too expensive for a sandwich joint.  Well, I started looking at their options and decided on an innocent looking salad.  That can't be too bad, right?  WRONG.  My chicken caesar salad had 63 grams of fat in it.  I was agog, I was aghast.  How can they pack all that crap into a little salad?  Needless to say, I didn't order.  I just ate my little Nutrisystem lunch and was very happy.

  1. It's amazing how fatty salads could be! It's all in the dressing too I think! Good for you for resisting and eating healthily!!

    Take care

  2. Last time I checked McDonalds salads have nearly as much fat when you add the dressing as a small burger. They just like to con you into thinking your being healthy.

  3. 63 GRAMS OF FAT??? Are you kidding me??? I like to eat the chicken ceasar salad at the Costco food court. And I think it's twice the size of the Quizno's salad. Good thing I make two meals out of it. Still, if halved it has over 30 grams of fat, that is like a whole day's fat requirement.

  4. way to be strong!
    I've heard that many dieters don't realize the fat content in salad dressings. Might as well order a sandwich, right?
    Happy non-quitter q day!

  7. All this is why I like to eat the food I fix. Then I know what's in it.

    Applause for your final decision. It's difficult when you're in the workplace to go the healthy route. But you did it!

  8. A very smart observation... wow!

    Can you pack your own salad/lunch and bring it with you to work? Just a thought ;-)
