I eat out a lot because I do not have a kitchen.  I usually am very aware of calories and making my choices that way.  Recently, I have become more and more aware of the ridiculous amounts of sodium and wish I had the time/space to cook with fresh ingredients to avoid it.  Anyway, last week I was working late every night and the only place open with hot food was Burger King.    nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn juiiiiiiii  <-cat contribution

Umm, anyway.  I once was a really big Burger King fan, but the prices are kind of stupid and it has been some time since I have been there.  So, all last week, I would think of it and think of it, and figure out a way to justify the cost and calories for some flame-broiled tastiness, but never went.  I could see getting a 400-600 burger and still being hungry before bed, so it was a gamble I did not want to take. 

Today, I wandered over and got 2 mini burger shots.  I should have asked for tomato & lettuce on them, but anyway they were just fine.  Was less than a buck and half for two and it quenched my burger craving.  I am sure they are still pretty bad for you, but much better than a whopper or a double cheeseburger or something.  Craving fulfilled for now.  I do not see making a habit of it, but am still glad I got them.

Has anyone seen the new Lifetime show Cook Yourself Thin?  I am really enjoying it.  You can watch it online for free and the recipes are all there:

It is basically a show which shows you how to trick your recipes into better versions of themselves.  I love they include all the calories on the show and in the recipes.  Unfortunately, not anything I can really incorporate into my life right now, but I think a lot of people would like it.
