It really helps to look over the menu before you go if that is possible.

Most chain restaurants have nutrition lists.

If not get a grilled chicked or grilled fish and do not eat the bun if it is a sandwich.

chicken salad is always and option too.

I don't measure food when at a restaurant, I just "eyeball it". I can visually guess how much I should be eating pretty easily. I'm also careful to stop eating the minute I get that full feeling.

As for drinks, I don't order one, this way the temptation isn't there.

I use an app called Lose It to track my calories and nutrients, but it also has restaurant foods in it's database. So, when eating out, I look up items from the menu so I know what is smart to order and what isn't. It's pretty shocking really. I'd always assumed things like tuna or chicken were always a better choice- but I've found that's not true at all. In fact, tuna is usually really high in calories and fat at restaurants because they mix it with Mayonnaise. If I didn't have my app to look up food before ordering, I'd have definitely ordered high fat and calorie foods without even realizing it.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
