My (stupid) IL's are in town today and want to go out for dinner. OF COURSE they choose somewhere shittastic like ihop. I only have maybe 6-650 calories I can set aside for dinner (im not even 100% because I wont know until I calculate my calories for the day thus far once I get home from work) and Ive been browsing the nutritional info and it doesnt look good.
I can either have a sandwich with no sides what so ever, an egg substitute ommlette (with no sides), a "simple & fit" ommlette with fruit, 2 eggs+2pancakes (no sides beyond that), maybe a belgian waffle with topping, 1/2 a sandwich with a side salad, a BLT with no sides, a plain salad with dressing but nothing else, or grilled chickenbreast with a salad with no dressing.
I dont want ANY of that. I could eat FAR more by making my own frigging dinner and end up far more satisfied. I do NOT have enough food at home though to make 5 adults and 2 kids dinner, nor do I have any desire to. Essentially, I dont even want to go to dinner. Thats just a waste of my calories and I dont feel like eating a pittance of shitty food just because I have to be social with these people.
Would it be super rude to say im going to stay home and catch them later?
