Breakfast at Braums every Monday morning for the past 14 years! It’s all good! 

It’s not my favorite by any means but my daughter was inducted into the national honor society today so she got to pick where we ate for dinner. The four cheese burger is good especially when they don’t add mayo. I think it’s one of those places you either love or love to hate lol. It IS popular though. My household loves fast food so I’m determined to find the best option at each place so I have something I know I can have. Just wish they’d make the fries crispy and the ice cream calorie free! Lol 

I should also mention these were ‘crispy’ fries or so they said. I also only ate maybe 1/4 of this large fry (I ordered medium and hubby ordered the large and they mixed them up). I logged a small fry and gave most of them to hubby. Thankfully they didn’t insist that we all have ice cream or my day would’ve been totally shot calorie wise lol. The kids all ordered a shake instead of a drink so I think that’s why. If hubby would’ve went back fir ice cream cones I’d have felt the need to join them and have one. Now I have room in my calorie budget for a banana AND a snickers if I want them! Even with my bag of chips for lunch (didn’t have time to eat so grabbed chips out of the vending machine).  

Oops missed your comment 60! Now I DO like their biscuits and gravy!! If they’d only serve breakfast after 10:30am. I’d be willing to try their sausage egg and cheese biscuit as well. Especially if I could sub bacon for the sausage. :)  

None of this is healthy!  

Sure it is! There is ice in the drink. I’ve is frozen water. Therefore I had some water with this! Bread is made from grains and grains are good for you. So are the sesame seeds on the bun. The meat is protein which we need. Ok so the fries aren’t healthy no matter how you look at it... and not very tasty either which is why I gave them away lol.  

If you were being serious then plz know that we don’t eat out much. We do when traveling and for special occasions and the occasional date or family night out. I may have Braum’s once a month if that usually.  

ouch!! eat and move on I say! sometime I have to eat away from home, but try to make good choices.  

I miss Braums soooo much! I'm an Okie born and raised! But moved to the Gulf coast of Mississippi many, many years ago! Sure wish they had Braums here!💖 

@peeperjj I just posted a picture of my latest meal (chili cheese fries) along plenty of other meals that people say are not healthy. I'm losing lbs and making gains and don't crave anything. I'm eating anabolic, under my macros and I'm eating pizzas, nachos, tacos, ice cream, cookies, cakes, burgers and fries, etc. I'm healthy, happy and almost never go over my calories. Never eat salads, protein shakes, watch carbs or say anything is off limits. Calories in vs calories out along with making sure you meet your protein goals. I make smarter choices and love my food everyday. You do you, and enjoy your take out or dine in as you please. So long as it works for you you're good. My way of eating looks terrible to my friends yet I'm losing weight and growing muscle while they're struggling to eat because they are on a restricted diet like keto. 🤷‍♂️ I let them hate food, while I love it. *Keto works, just not for me, I'm not hating on keto by any means. I tried it, hated it*  

Oh I love Braum’s! My grandmother lived in Oklahoma and we always went to Braum’s when we were there. She loved it so for me it’s good memories!💖 

I love your way, Jay!  

And I love this photo. 

Also, it's rude to be tell people that you deem their food not to be healthy. That's your problem and a hard term to define anyway. Peeperjj should not have to justify her meal to anyone. 

hooray for variety it's awesome if you know what you're doing based on your macros and rdi needs no food should be off limits that's a recipe for failure😉  

@LaughingChevre Thank you 🙂. And I totally agree with you, no one should have to justify or explain why they are eating a certain way to anyone. If it works for you then that's all that matters. Let's show support and encouragement to everyone in this community. Let's get it!! 💪 Keep dropping those #foodporn pics and keep making them gains! 💪  

@tr3vi28 It can be, but making those better choices helps keep that late night binging at bay. And boy can I put away cheez-its 🤣😂 Also, I found myself saying "I can't eat pizza" Brain: pizza sounds delicious right now, you want pizza. 🤦‍♂️ lol. Not anymore, I can now walk into the cheesecake factory and not have cheesecake. I may have minor eye twitches because it's my kryptonite lol. But I go home make myself an anabolic cheesecake and can eat the whole thing if I desire staying under my macros.  

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 

I’d like a “like” option on comments because Jay2584 and LaughingChevre you nailed it! Let’s normalize eating whatever we want without fear of judgment. 🙏🏻❤️
