What I ordered: A romaine salad topped with grilled salmon, olives, avocado, parmesan cheese, diced tomato, a chopped boiled egg and please hand me the bottle of olive oil and red wine vinegar so I can pour some on as my dressing.

Her advice on a much healthier salad: good for me for having salad, but I should use chicken breast instead of salmon (she says salmon has too much fat in it), omit the avocado and olives (because they have too much fat in them), have two boiled egg whites instead of a whole egg (again with the fat), add more veggies to my salad bowl (especially the very healthy grilled corn, chick peas, green peas, etc), use the fat free pre-shredded cheese instead of the parmesan I requested, leave off the olive oil and just use a nice "lite" vinegrette. And I might want to add some whole wheat croutons or very healthy baked sesame sticks to my salad to keep me full longer.

I bet she'd die if she knew I had a breakfast of two eggs scrambled in butter and a handful of beef jerky.

I felt badly for her, because she is overweight, and I am sure she is probably trying to follow all of her healthy advice, and I have btdt.
