Grilled Chicken Salad & yet another fail...

Monday - Dinner:

This is a super special day... at least my kids would say.  You see... I don't cook all that often.  I get home late most evenings and my hubs usually has dinner cooked. Well last night I was in the mood for salad. I had seen Melissa's post yesterday with her salad pictures and decided I needed salad. 

Amber's Grilled Chicken Salad:

It comes in around 500 calories, 27 grams of Protein, 13 Carbs & 28 grams of Fat. I could have done without the avocado, but just wanted some good fat! 

Ingredients:

1/2 Avocado, sliced

1/4 cup - Cucumbers, cubed

6 - Grape Tomatoes

1 - Hard Boiled Egg, sliced

1/4 cup - 2% Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese

1 Cup - Romaine Lettuce

1 tablespoon - REAL bacon bits

2 - Large olives, sliced

4 - Mushrooms, sliced

1/2 cup - Grilled Chicken Breast, sliced

1 tablespoon - Reduced Fat Ranch Dressing (to dip my fork in)

TALK ABOUT DELICIOUS!!!!

Fail...

So I finally had time to calculate the nutrition facts for the Allison.  I am so disappointed. I should have known that something so darn good would be so darn bad for me!!!  You see... I am insulin resistant. So... carbs (a lot) are a no no for me. Here are the results... I am so sad! 

THE ALLISON'S NUTRITION FACTS:

Calories: 463

Fat: 10

Carbs: 87!!!!!

Fiber: 29 

Protein: 27

I guess this means no more Allison for me! :( 

It's a sad sad day in Amberland!
