When in a pinch, we like In-N-Out Burger. I have to admit, it's the one fast food place that doesn't make me gag. It seems so clean of an establishment, the food is basic, not severely adulterated and I can even watch while waiting in my car to see if anything fell on the floor. Maybe their facade has me fooled, but maybe the place is as clean as it seems.
With such a basic menu, it's easy not to get distracted with other things on the menu. You need a strategy to make it through the dangers of all fast food experiences. This is my strategy:
I order the same thing every time I go and I feel full, treated and I won't find it on the scale. I order a hamburger so I can save calories on the cheese. (I don't think it's real cheese either) I order it "ANIMAL STYLE" so I can get tasty grilled onions and a bit of special sauce. It's such a juicy burger, I don't miss the cheese. I also order some fries and ask for them "WELL" so that they will still be crispy by the time I get to our eating location (usually home). I share this order with my kids because all I really want is a few fries, like 10. As the kids have gotten bigger and eat more, I now order 2 orders. I have a nice glass of water when I am finished and I am full.
You might ask, "If you are going through the drive through just to take it home, why don't you just go home and eat something there?" Yes, that is the best solution!! There are just times where it's 1- 1:30 and we haven't had lunch. By the time I get home (we live out in the country), make lunch and eat it, it's after 2 and we are famished. As most know, when you get overly hungry, you will eat more. This is my solution to prevent overeating on late days and late lunches on the run.
