Funny what we're looking at when we read a nutrition label!

Great start to the new month – sold THREE calorie management systems already this month! I’m very excited to get these new clients started. One appears to want a little more ‘hands on’, one says he’s techy and can ‘handle it on his own’ and the third sounds like he’s going to talk on the phone for our #1 session to pacify me. I have a lot of clients that smile and nod and schedule the first conversation just for me, then they are SO excited after the first week and how easy they see this thing is…. And it turns into quite the phone conversation! Had a client today that ate at Uno’s, a Honey Crispy Salad… I pulled it up online and read the nutrition information to him as he typed it into his food log. It’s funny how our brains have been trained to think about nutrition labels, here it is: Calories 760 Fat 38 Cholesterol 115 Sodium 1810 Carbs 65 Protein 45 His first comment was, “well at least PART of this meal was good for me” (referring to the protein cound). Keep in mind the point of this program is calories… a 760 calorie meal while you’re eating out is actually a really good number. You get their Deep Dish Pepperoni Pizza and your looking at 1760 calories (and 63g of Protein, in case you’re keeping track)!! So he did pretty darned good for himself today! And, if he stays active today, he probably has room for a chocolate chip cookie before he goes to bed! :)
