Ate chili for the first time today

I was stuck at a shopping center today with a non-working car so I ended up having to eat some unplanned food. I didn't expect to be there for lunch but I was lucky to find a place that served chili. I drank 1/2 a protein drink this morning and by 1 pm I started feeling a tiny bit hungry. 


While waiting for my ride I walked around the shopping ctr and found a BBQ joint, a Mexican fast food that doesn't serve soup and Quiznos. I know Quiznos has soup so I tried their chili - it was the lowest calorie option because their chicken noodle wasn't ready yet. It had the most protein-20 grams (also the most carbs-26), 6 g of dietary fiber and 1050 mg of sodium (less than chicken noodle) and 230 calories. I thought I'd eat about half. I ate about 1/4 of it and was stuffed! I asked how many ounces are in the cup and was told they have two sizes 6 oz. and 10 oz. I ordered the bigger one so I guess I had about 2.5 oz. 

I brought it home and had it for dinner. I measured 1/2 a cup, mixed with a tsp of chicken broth and finished a little over 1/2 of it and had about 3 bites of chocolate pudding.


Very happy with my little tummy's capacity! This was what I was looking for with the band but didn't get!!! Posted Image

Take care,
