I'm on my own weight loss journey and I too have awaken to the truths about what I used to eat. It amazes me how unhealthy food is out there and now I'm reading labels and lightly counting the calories and fat. Now I make most of my meals, but when I do eat out I get simple things like salads, which I love so why fight it haha. I'm moving into raw foods since that is where my heart is. I don't eat meat and have cut out the dairy. The thought of cheese makes me ill now...weee life changes!

It's crazy the calories that we used to consume and not even realize it. Good thing you're making conscious choices now and doing your research online. :)

I did have 1 fish taco but did not eat the soft corn torillas that it was wrapped in - hopefully that saved me some fat calories. It was a splurge but a much healthier one :)

A FISH TACO? That doesnt even sound good! ha! I think if I was the manager of the restaurant I wouldnt post those nutrition facts. That is terrible!!!!

[BeTheBestMe]

I know!! I moved to California 3 years ago and there are fish tacos everywhere! I never heard of them before moving here. It sounded really gross until I had one and I was hooked! They are out of this world! I am a really picky eater too! They are even better in Mexico! I hear you about publishing the nutritional info. I dont think very many people check it out on the web - the food is just too good for most people to care :)

I loved Baja Fresh when I was in Oregon! Hmmmm....but NO way for me!

[BeTheBestMe]

It is so good! I am really shocked to find all this info out - very eye opening!

[Opendoors08]

O MY!! Just say NO!! :)Amy

[BeTheBestMe]

Exactly!! Its crazy! It justs goes to show that making your own meals is so much better - you know exactly what goes into everything.

OM-Friggin-G!!!

[BeTheBestMe]

I know!! I'D eat there because it is fresh and delish - I was really surprised!!

[retta2587]

whoa nelly! i hate finding out that "healthy" stuff is as bad for you as the stuff you know is bad for you. and ick, fish LOL

[BeTheBestMe]

That was quite a rude awakening ;) I used to think fish tacos sounded gross until I tried them and now I am an addict! I could only eat half at lunch.

[MissJanieHere]

That's scarey right!! OMG...that's crazy...who would think...I don't understand how a veggie one could have so much fat??? Did they dip in lard??? Crazy! Congrats on looking up the nutritional value and improving your choices!

[BeTheBestMe]

Thank you - I definately need to make a habit of it! I have no idea how they got so much fat in there - they did not used to taste greasy. I am scared now :)

[meltingmamma]

Way to be informed! I'm glad you are looking up the nutritional values! Thanks for the info!

Yay - this old dog is learning new tricks!

[Journey2betrhealth]

What an eye opening experience this has been hasn't it? Can you actually eat the whole thing now though? Cuz if not then you can have the mahi mahi and still have less than 9 grams of fat! Be careful though. I found an article that said some of the published restuarant tables were still off...higher than published. Ugh!!

I cant even dream of eating the old favorites. I cold only eat half the fish taco for lunch and had the other half for snack. I did not eat the corn tortilla wrap. :) That is a bummer about the nutritional info being off on some restaurant nutritional guides - I will try and be extra careful - Thank you!
