After the gym this morning I stopped at Chick-Fil-A for lunch and got one of their wraps, thinking it would be maybe 5-6 points if I got the low-cal Italian dressing instead of the ceasar that comes with it. I wanted to order the chargrilled wrap but I asked the guy if we could take the tomatoes off and he said they were pre-made that way. Well, I can't STAND tomatoes, so I opted for the ceasar wrap instead. Almost as an afterthought, I asked for the nutrition information. Turns out that stupid wrap I bought was 10 points! At first I was thinking maybe that was without the dressing, but when I got home I used the meal calculator here and saw that it was without.
So for the first time in my life, I only ate half of the wrap and brought the other half home to stick in the fridge. I guess technically I could afford the other half, but I haven't decided on dinner yet and don't want to restrict myself because I indulged in the wrap from hell. Turns out I could have had their breaded, fried chicken sandwich for less calories! Oh well... at least bringing that half wrap home was really empowering! I'm actually really hungry so I think maybe I'll eat the other half of the wrap and make a grilled veggie sandwich for dinner. I'll have to make sure I buy a roll that I can check the NI for because I really think the points list I check for generic foods is way off. The good thing is that with a grilled veggie sandwich the only thing that matters is the bread and whatever I brush on the veggies!
