It was Chick-fil-A Spirit Night for my school tonight.
So, of course, that meant I could enjoy a night away from the kitchen and support my school at the same time.
PLEASE keep your political opinions to yourself........plain and simple, I LOVE their food.
Being on Weight Watchers, however, there are some things on the Chick-fil-A menu you can still enjoy AND some things you need to avoid.
If you're watching your waistline, you may want to avoid the following foods or at least enjoy it only on special occassions.
Chick-fil-A milkshakes are heavenly, BUT the points value is sinful at 21 points! Yikes!
Click here to view a recipe for a Skinny "copy-cat" version of the Chick-fil-A Banana Pudding milkshake. It's still not "super healthy", but is definitely better than 21 points!
Waffle fries......yum! But at 10 points for a medium serving.....they're worth almost the same as a regular Chick-fil-A sandwich.
I love putting Chick-fil-A sauce on my sandwich or dipping my waffle fries in it, but with a points plus value of 4 for a condiment......not worth it! My other favorite sauce, Polynesian, isn't much better at 3 points. The best choice for dipping sauces is the Buffalo Sauce at 0 points or Honey Mustard at 1 point.
Don't worry though, all hope is not lost.
You can still enjoy Chick-fil-A without destroying your diet in the process.
Here are a few of the Chick-fil-A items with a Points Plus Value of 7 points or less.
Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich: 7 +Points
8-Piece Chicken Nuggets: 7 + Points
Fruit Cup: 0 +points!
Chargrilled Chicken & Fruit Salad w/ Light Italian Dressing: 6 +points
Icedream Cone: 5 + points
My favorite, is the Classic Chick-fil-A sandwich.
At 11 + points, it's definitely a splurge, but I must admit.......
It was sooooo worth it!
So, go ahead, enjoy some Chick-fil-A.....it won't destroy your diet.
(At least as long as you skip the milkshake OR you don't crave it on a Sunday.)
Eat Mor Chickin and
Remember...........Everything 4:13!
