The ranch dressing can be loaded with fat and calories as can the bacon. make sure you know the nutritional content of what your eating. There is a list called the grocery list for healthy eating in the diet and nutrition forum..check it out.

Protein tends to digest slower than carbs and keep you satisfied a bit longer. You can also try munching on some carrot sticks. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

jaytori129 Posts: 657 Joined: 2006/11/14	2006/11/16, 05:20 PM Thanks! I know from just my short time here everyone is awesome and supportive so I wanted to throw that out there not like snapping back, but since I'm new I wanted to make sure you understood where I "came" from...although today I ate a mixed romaine salad with just lettuce 7 oz of tune and blue cheese dressing made by wardley farms or something it wasn't bad I tried it...according to the label it is sugar fat carb free no calories!!!!! Only thing it had really listed on the label was sodium -------------- Jason Fox 6\\'1\\" 365lbs Weight Goal 300 by april 2007

SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2006/11/18, 11:06 AM I would think the 2 cheese burgers would be better then a bacon ranch, bacon is worst then the hamberger thats for sure and hamberger isn't really bad and the ranch itself is a huge empty calorie choice as for the cheese it's good to eat! This is why people fail at diets, they wana substitute 1 crappy choice with another and think thats it healthy because it has a piece of lettuce and chicken in it that its good when in fact the ranch only ruined that meal then to top it off with bacon! Funny how Ranch dressing is thw #1 dressing since it came out and around the same time people trippled in size. Anyone ever read how much 1 TBSP of that stuff is and nobody uses just 1 or 2 TBSP, more like half a cup LOL. ============ Quoting from jaytori129: Thanks!
