Boy, lunch was unintentionally caloric today. It was delicious though, so it’s okay. This afternoon I ran a couple errands that I had been postponing but in the spirit of just do it, I just did them. :) Post office, birthday present shopping, etc, etc. On my way back to the office, I dropped into Europa Cafe to pick up lunch. I picked out the lemon tuna wrap: no mayo, but with capers, tomatoes, celery - sounded like something I would make at home:
I was doubley pleased to see that they had the nutritional info legibly and accessibly posted on the website. Only fitting, seeing as this wrap was doubley caloric! I was shocked! Almost 700 calories for this tiny little guy, boo. After snooping around the site, I see that I should have gotten a pressed sandwich: a much more reasonable 300-400 cal. Le sigh. Live and learn. I’ll know for next time.
I also had some nonfat cottage cheese and blueberries, swoon.
All together, my super heavy lunch:
Lunch was 873 calories, 93g carbs, 21g fat, and 76g protein!!
This baby better power me up all afternoon and evening. After work, I’m heading uptown to my apt (as opposed to P’s apt) to get my mail and do some stuff around there. Then I’m meeting up with the birthday girl, Eva, and some friends to go see the Sex and the City Movie!! Swoon! I can’t wait! This will be the first of many viewings, I’m sure. P won’t admit it, but he wants to see it too, so I’m going to have to “drag” him there this weekend. Did you guys here they’ve greenlit a Sex and the City Movie 2?? Swoon again! Bye guys!
That wrap is sooo vibrant!! I’m sure it’ll hold you over - it WAS good, right?? That’s what counts :0)
Have fun seeing SATC tonight!!
Yeah, you gotta watch out for those wraps.
I’m doing weight watchers and the wrap that most places in NYC use is 6 points. Just to give you some perspective, at 5′2 and 120 lbs, my daily points is allowance is 18…yikes!
Enjoy the movie! It’s very cute and “fluffy” as I’ve been describing it to others.
I loved SITC. I already can’t wait for the SITC2. You are going to love it!
I hate finding out something I ordered at a restaurant is much more caloric than I had anticipated after the fact. Such a bummer when you think you’ve made a decent choice. Oh well though, as you said, live and learn! At least you enjoyed it!
I just saw the Sex and the City movie the other night! I’ve honestly never even watched the show before but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie so that’s gotta say something about how good it is!
I am going to die if they are really making another SATC movie. I watched in Sunday and want to see it again.
I hate when things turn out to be deceiving like your lunch was, oh well, now you know like you said! I was wondering about a SATC 2, I hope they do it, as long as it’s not a crappy sequel. Hope you enjoy the first one, it’s AMAZING!
Wow that wrap is stuffed!
VeggieGirl - Totally held me over, go wrap!
Jaclyn - Who would have thought, re: how caloric wraps are??
Joane - You’re so right, re: loving the movie!
Kristie - I know! It makes such a case for looking at menus beforehand. I do love that more and more restaurants are making that information available online and in person!
Ashley - I’m sure SATC 2 will be just as great - as long as they bring everyone back!
Becca - Yeah, I think it must have been almost 2 cans of tuna!
