Question HMM? my lunch

So, went to the gym at lunch, as usual I haven't been losing any weight (like 4 lbs in the last 1.5 months, argh) but that's ok, because I'm eating good and working out, and good results are eminent...however, today I decided to stop by the mall after working out and got some blackened chicken and cabbage from a vendor there... I'm eating it and it's not sweet but very spicy, it is seasoned WELL but I wonder what is hidden in it? I didn't get hte bourbon chicken because it has a sweet flavor, which tells me SUGAR but I wonder if this chicken is ok?? You think??? The cabbage is fine, it's just cabbage and broccoli and garlic...

The thing I would be wary of is any sauce that appears to be thickened. Hidden corn starch. If it doesn't taste sweet it probably isn't loaded with sugar, but you never know. You can always ask if there is sugar in the sauce or marinade.

It sucks to be at the mercy of food vendors and restaurants.

Yeah, see as someone who is NOT a cook, I do my best, but not an expert... I had NO IDEA what else could be in it... thanks... luckily I'm not too hungry and didn't eat much of it anyways, but it didn't seem thick, actually real runny? and SPICY!! whoooo hot!

yeah, i feel you on the fear of eating out and not really knowing, i now tend to stick to the salad bar or i only eat if states the carb content, so many restaurants now post the low carb foods they prepare, its getting a lil easier to eat out now.

I'd ask next time before I bought it - the vendor surely knows what's in it in case anyone has allergies!

Sounds good to me though, I love spicy stuff!
