Food: Longhorn Restaurant Menu Nutritional Values

Okay, this is my standard lunch at Longhorn Restaurant in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Nothing to be proud of, but it is one of my “comfort” meals. And, although I don’t eat any of the hamburger bun, I will eat both halves of the appetizer bread by end of the day. And did.

The total sodium listed above is about 20 mg over the suggested daily amount and the total calories is about 75% of a day’s total. So, although I will be back again, I will try to make it not so often, and it has been less than once a month. Maybe twice a year would be satisfactory.

09/10/25: My total calories for the day were 976 above my daily goal of 1880 and my total sodium for the day was 2,301 which was 1 point over being twice my daily goal. Yeah, nutrition-wise yesterday at Lonestar and the Hershey’s Ice Cream was a fiasco. My morning weight was 244.8 lbs. which was up 2.4 lbs. from yesterday, but my Resting Blood Glucose Level was 103 which was great! *Still, if I go back to my “regular” pattern of eating today, I should be back down in a couple of days. This is from years of previous experience with a “cheat” meal or day.

ADDENDUM: On a usual trip to Goldsboro, North Carolina I will be going to have lunch at the Longhorn Restaurant in front of Berkley Mall. I think I’ve only been in Berkley Mall once and that was a few years ago. I think they have JC Penny’s on one end and on the other is/was an abandoned large store, perhaps Sears at one time.

I may drive out to look at any jets that may be taking off or landing out at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. There is a road that dead ends at the fence beside the runway and often there are others out there taking pictures.

I will also try to go to the Main Wayne County Library back in town. They don’t take book donations. I wanted to give them a copy of the Reader’s Digest Magic Foods for Better Blood Sugar, but the clerk didn’t even ask, which book, just redirected me to the Literacy Connections of Wayne County. As soon as I realized that they didn’t take book donations, no reason for me to talk any longer with the woman at the front desk. I did roam the stacks and found a book on diabetes and took it and browsed through it.

I stopped at the Newton Grove Drug Co. (pharmacy & soda fountain) in Newton Grove, North Carolina and had a 1 scoop ($2) of Hershey’s Ice Cream in a regular cone. *They give about a scoop & a half (almost two scoops) for only $2 (no tax). That’s a deal!
