Order one of the club sandwiches with double meat and have them take out the bread. Also have them cut it in half. Use it for two meals. An unwhich will not get you near the needed carbohydrates, so don’t be fooled by the lettuce!
Smashburger –
Order a burger on the multigrain bun. Ensure you include the avocado to get your fats. Men – Feel free to eat the entire bun with a side salad.

Order the Chicken Salad and then eat about 10 delicious, fresh corn chips with salsa or a small beer for your extra carbohydrates. Add salsa to your salad as a dressing if you’d like.
Victoria House –
