text: I think I understand what you're going through. I recently had radiation therapy on my overactive thyroid gland, and I have gained a lot of weight! The problem in the US is that convenient and fast food means crappy and unhealthy food. I will only order things like fish and veggies, grilled chicken and veggies, and if I HAD to do fast food, get a grilled chicken salad with no croutons, and bring your own dressing. Unfortunately this is not a dieters world, and we just have to make the best of it! Why not bring along some Nutrition shakes "just in case"? I know finding the right foods to eat on the go is a lot harder than doing it at home. Best of luck to you! :)
