Overall, not perfect, but not terrible.

Lunch at O’Hare airport wasn’t the best choice, but before I went to the Great American Bagel, I found their nutrition information online at Calorie King (oddly, the Great American Bagel Web site does not post this information). Despite the fact the bagel was pretty hefty in points, I’d rather know all the facts then just randomly choose something from an airport kiosk and guess at what I’m actually eating.

Sushi is a great dinner option for me when I’m on the road. It feels like I’m splurging because I can eat it in mass quantities. And, bonus, it’s one of my favorite foods. I try my best to stick with rolls that are pretty standard. Special rolls tend to vary restaurant to restaurant making them harder to track.

Tomorrow will bring new challenges; first and foremost, avoiding the free breakfast available downstairs. However, I may scope it out to see if fresh fruit is available — good to steal for snacks. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s exciting report!
