Scott in Florida - 12 weeks

[scottinflorida]

Last week was a brief plateau with a gain of .4, but this week the plummet continued with a loss of 2.8.  Total loss now is 31 pounds, and now I am looking forward to joining the Forty Pounds Lost Club!

Question for the group...does anyone know how to figure nutritional value on a McDonalds McChicken without the bun?  I have these sometimes but I am not sure how to count them.  They do seem to have a little breading.  At a dollar each they are a quick cheap lunch, and they don't seem to be hindering my progress.  I figure there must be a website somewhere that has the nutritional analysis of the meat alone.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!  Eat the turkey, leave the stuffing!

I use this for fast food all the time was you but one item you have to go back to clear it but it is very helpful . The Mcchicken sandwich with out the bread tylers doc told us to count 8 carbs for his insulin because the bun is like 30,hope this helps , Oh congrats on the weight loss !!!!
