Day 12: There's HOW many calories in that!?

I've decided that it should be REQUIRED for restaurants to have a flipping clue as to the nutritional value of the food they are serving. Today, I went to Friday's with some girls from school. I scoured the internet ALL day for information as to what I could eat, and other than pages and pages and pages of the same 20 foods, I couldn't find much. I even referred to their website (which is flashy and obnoxious, and made me NOT want to eat there) for a list of possible choices. No help. I finally decided that I would get the fried shrimp dinner. One website claimed that fried shrimp has 27 calories each. I don't buy it. Another said 450 calories for 4 shrimp. Helpful. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeally helpful. Sigh. So I went into Friday's knowing I was about to consume somewhere between 600 and 1600 calories. Great. That's not a problem or anything for a girl that can eat 1461 (not 1460, or 1470.... no, 1461.....) calories a day. Sigh. I flipped through the novel of a menu, one that is now akin to War and Peace mind you (I mean really, I'm all for options, but this menu is OUT. OF. CON-TROL.) desperately trying to find something that was not going to force me to mentally chop off ANOTHER limb when I weigh in on Monday when I saw it... hiding quietly among (amongst?) the flashy "sizzlin'" this and "poppin'" thats.... Tilapia. Broiled tilapia with tomatoes, cucumbers, and a balsamic vinaigrette. I sadly glanced at the fried shrimp and FRIES on the menu, and begrudgingly ordered the fish. It finally arrived in all its "glory". A white piece of fish on a white plate with 3 mini tomatoes and the TINIEST cubes of cucumber you have EVER seen. Like one slice cut into 10 little squares. And they were warm. Ew. After scraping those into the pile of steamed broccoli that I refused to eat (raw broccoli= yum, steamed broccoli without cheese or anything else to make it edible = gag.) and ate the sad piece of fish slowly as to not finish 30 minutes before the rest of my friends. Finally, knowing what the deep dark recesses of the internet held as far as nutrtitional facts, I asked the waitress if they had the inforamtion about what I consumed. She asked a manager and finally responded that they indeed had no more information than the internet and they had no idea what the caloric intake was. Great. Back to square one. Upon searching the internet again I found that broiled tilapia has a calorie count of 90.... ooooooooooooor 650....... Sigh. Back to square one indeed!
12 days down... 168 to go!
