Counting Calories

I don't think Lawrence knew how bad for him some of the stuff he eats is. With all our momentum in losing weight, he's been trying to watch what he eats for lunch. He'll look up the nutritional information if he's going to a chain. Last night when we went to 99 Ranch, he started looking at the nutritional information. Calories were not even the main issue - it was the sodium. So much of the food had inordinately high amounts of sodium. Feeling the money crunch, Lawrence suggested that he could incorporate ramen with veggies and eggs into his diet. Then he looked at the nutritional information. Fried fish cakes (tempura/satsuma age) is also surprisingly high in sodium.

Given all this, we still won't start counting calories any time soon.
