Restaurant Food
Ok so basically I watch my weight a lot & today I had a bowl of Special K & a few snacks throughout the day, knowing I'd be going to Ruby Tuesday's for dinner. So I scan the menu, noticing how there's a lot of burgers & things of that sort. I see the Shrimp Pasta Parmasean thinking, oh shrimp, noodles, how bad can that be? Oh boy was I wrong. I looked up the nutrition facts when I got home and it was 1221 calories! Not including bread or appetizers. So basically I'm extremely upset. I've always had a mental weight problem & didn't like overdoing it with the calories. What can I do to relieve myself of stress & feeling this way. I took my dog for a walk so maybe that burned off some, but I'm still worried about it. I'm going to run in the morning for 20-30 minutes, but is there anything else I can do tonight or should I wait until the morning? Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
Well, If it was JUST this one day, I wouldnt worry too much about it. Your body needs variation in calories anyways. Walking and running will definately help you to not gain weight. But chances are you wont gain anyways. And if you do, it will be subtle, like MAYBE 1 pound. If even that. So don't worry, you wont get fat! Just relax. Eating something heavy in calories wont hurt you if you do it VERY sparingly (which you seem like you do). But to avoid such occasions in the future. When you find out you are going to a restaurant ahead of time; Check out their website. Most restaurants have a website with the nutritional information on it. So if you look at it before hand you'll know what foods you can have and what foods are too high in calories. Although, most restaurants have high calorie foods anyways. I read a tip somewhere recently and if you order a to go box with your order, you can put maybe half of what you ordered in the to go box for the next day so you wont be eating as many calories at that meal and that way you can also order what ever you like!
I hope I helped and Good Luck!
