I'm going to celebrate Father's Day with my dad this weekend and he wants to go to his favorite diner. I've been saving calories for this meal so I can splurge a little. Which should I choose? French toast with butter, syrup, and bacon (not pictured), or a French dip sandwich with au jus (I won't eat the fries)? Assuming I'm not craving sweet or savory, which would have fewer calories? Images taken form their Yelp page. TYIA!

Probably the sandwich, it would have protein.
Dippp
The French dip doesn’t look too good there to me I’d go for the French toast
Dip for sure
Dip protein ftw
Purely for flavor, the French Dip. French toast sucks.
A splurge where you don’t eat the fries?!? We have different priorities 😅😂
French dip if it’s from Houston’s/Hillstone. This one doesn’t look that appealing to me 😅
Dip! I love French dips with London broil roast beef.
bro just have both god damn, it’s one day and you shouldn’t be saving calories. that’s eating disorder talk.
I just splurged on a French dip last weekend and it was very disappointing. I’m probably more than a little biased but looking at the pictures the French toast looks way better.
If you get a side of eggs and can sub in turkey bacon/sausage you’ll be able to close the protein gap between options. You could even turn it into a sandwich and use the syrup cup to make it a breakfast French dip
French dip would probably be lower calorie, but get what you want and enjoy!
French dip, but I don’t super care for sweets!
Do the French Dip. It has more protein and virtually zero sugar so it’ll be better for your health and sanity in the long run—the French Toast is likely to give you a blood sugar boost and then a crash where you’ll be tired and crave even more sweets later on in the day.
And honestly, eat the fries too. Just eat like, half of them. Potatoes are a great starch, it’s a special day, and you deserve it.
Depends which you like more. I personally love French dip. That shit sooooo gas. French toast is like okay that’s good but moving on. French dip is like…………. You’ll remember that shit all day if it’s good
there’s alotttt of ways to make french toast macro friendly, go w the dip!
Dip, you still get protein and it slaps.
French dip because you can actually make a good French toast that isn’t even a splurge at home any time! (low calorie bread dipped in egg or egg white and protein shake with vanilla extract and cinnamon)
French dip likely has better macros. But between those two photos I’d go French toast.
Monte cristo! Meet in the middle!!!
