oh no sorry your son is sick, hope he feels better soon. For future reference though one meal won't undo all the good of the LE diet, just stay veggie if you can and skip pudding etc so its not too bad. Lots of pasta and noodle dishes are quite low in cals, i got quite inventive when on the le diet, we ate out at a weatherspoons pub in birmingham for example and i found a noodle dish for 375 cals, it was so nice and met with the criteria. But if not the odd cheat is fine, better that than upset hubby, if aint happy no baby making anyway!

Thank you Mrs. P! It's hard to know where/how to "cheat" so I get nervous and I am trying to stay calm about the whole thing....but I guess the swaying dust fairy is keeping me home for my own good! I will keep this post for next time. Thanks again!!!!

Atomic, would the portobello mushroom ravioli's be okay at OG it comes with a white sauce, thats what I love to get there also on this out to eat topic our city just got a noodles& company and I like the pesto cavatopi is it okay to have pesto on plain noodles cuz that's what that is?

**atomic sagebrush** · January 13th, 2013, 02:25 PM

the mushroom ravioli should be ok, the pesto may not be quite as good because there are ground up nuts in the sauce (still ok for a cheat though)

Oh my so pesto isn't good to have on the diet? oops I had pesto noodles a good couple times but is that what pesto is in it's self is nuts? cuz the pesto on there noodles was creamy and didn't seem to have nut's in it.
