With a ridiculous travel schedule, HQ trainer Pat Sherwood may not always know exactly where he is or how to pronounce the name of his location, but he does know how to eat well in challenging circumstances.
In this installment of The Zone Chronicles, Sherwood and guest Miranda Oldroyd confess to a few small sins at Outback Steakhouse before hitting the road to Yosemite, Calif. Steeling themselves to battle a snowstorm, they stop at a Mexican restaurant along the way and redeem themselves by forsaking the bowl of chips and hitting the meat and vegetables hard.

Great insight into real-world situations. Anyone know what sort of device Pat is recording his video on?

I don't think I can ever get sick of these videos. Something about knowing what other people eat is oddly appealing. Thanks for the videos Pat.

Hands down the best way to eat that bread at Outback is with their honey butter with some cinnamon on top. You have to ask for it that way, though.

I watch the Zone Chronicle every meal I eat. Doesn't feel like I'm eating alone and I just love these everyday situations where Pat shows you how to make acutal choices. Keep it coming!

I'm really curious as to why all the pop? Diets no better than regular pop. Aspartame gets stored in our fat cells, and has shown that it can almost "double" the caloric intake when taken with a meal because our bodies don't understand how to digest a foreign man made sugar.
Any insight?

Love these vids. Started CrossFit about three weeks ago and slowly going into zone. Great to know that I can eat out still if I make the proper choices (the chips would be really difficult to stay away from- would have asked them to keep it off the table if I were with others trying to eat the same way). Keep it coming Pat!

That bread is absolutely delicious but I'm 90% sure it's just bleached enriched wheat that has been dyed and sugared up. How many zone blocks is that loaf?

#13, Rob,
The reason for the diet coke is simple. It is not based on factors of health, nutrition, work capacity, or sound judgement. I drink it because I like the taste and it makes me happy. I allow some things in my life to exist simply for the purposes of pleasure. This is an example of one of them.
I hope that helps.
Pat

Great vids and series, thanks again Pat! I too was curious about what you do all your recording on. FlipCam? WebPhone? Regular camcorder? Completely irrelevant to the subject; I'm just curious.

I dont understand what's informative about this series? And why do you only pick fast food/chain restaurants? Or are these videos supposed to be just for fun? Maybe I'm missing the point.
