Small Changes a big difference


We go out to Carrows about once a month. I usually get the following:

Salad with Blue Cheese, Garlic Bread
Large Prime Rib (12 oz), Vegetable,
baked potato with butter and sour cream
Glass of Red wine

Truth be told I would sometimes order a full one pound cut but for now we will go with this menu.
The big difference is I checked Nutrional information on-line Before I went to eat.
I ordered the following

Salad with a little oil and vinegar
corn bread with no butter
Salmon, Baked potato w/ sour cream
vegetables and water

I am just as full and just as happy. And even my improved dinner has too much sodium (over 1200 mg) so next time I will cut out the corn bread. It was surprisingly a major contributor to the total sodium. These small changes netted tyhe following differences

1305 Fewer Calories


49 Grams less fat (441 fat calories)


1057 mg less sodium



Little change make a difference. Over time a HUGE difference
