Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well! Doing alright here.
I should start off by saying I did not stick to low carb today since we went out to celebrate Father's Day. My husband wanted to go to Golden Corral.
My fasting number was the lowest today though, 76! I also got back down to my lowest weight (well since starting my weight loss journey this year).
I'm not going to say how high my number was after the meal....but you can probably take a guess (super high). I did get it back down to 118 by 7 PM, which helped me feel a lot better.
What did I have at the buffet?
I had a small amount of most of the items.
I had some mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, 1 grilled sausage (kind of like a hot dog), 2 slices of pizza, a few fries, hasbrowns. I took some of the fried fish, but wasn't a fan, even though I usually love to get that when I go out to eat.
I think that was all for the "meal". THEN came dessert. They have so many choices!
All the portions are pretty small, but I tried quite a few things 
I did try....a cinnamon roll, cookie, fudge and the pudding. (Didn't eat all of the pudding).
So yeah....only one big (or huge) meal for me today.
No idea on the macros!
I'll be back on my normal, low carb schedule tomorrow.
If I was not a picky eater, I would have been smart and got the salad bar, some green beans, and some of the grilled fish (not breaded). Oh, and skip the desserts.
Hopefully I can work on getting over the picky eating...and eventually go back and have a much better result (with my blood sugar).
Do you ever go to a buffet restaurant? What would you get?

We sometimes do. I have been trying to make better choices when we do.

That's good that you have been trying to make better choices when you do. I wish that I could!

I used to a long time ago, now when I go I get a take out box, one meal and no desserts.

That sounds like a smarter way to do it! We rarely go though...so I won't be making this a regular habit!

The last one I went to was Golden Corral. I did my best to stick with my diet. I remember I tried their baked sweet potato. It was very good. They also had a seafood salad that was good. The steak was very good. I don't remember what else I had, but no desserts.

That's good that you did best sticking to your diet there....I only go there once a year, so definitely don't try to stick to my diet, but also only eat one time that day. I didn't see steak, but maybe they only serve that at dinner time? I bet it would be good though.

I didn't think so since I know you don't do fast food! Going to the buffet is rare for us though, maybe once a year at the most.

That's great to hear....I didn't see ribs there today. But they did have a ton of stuff so I could have missed them

Seems lately a lot of fast food/restaurants are meh....I've noticed too. The food yesterday was good, but some items were meh. The dessert though was amazing.
Haven't been to a Chinese buffet though!
