ICUnurserachel 17 Posted July 28, 2012 It is ok to eat out. Having the band teaches you moderation. I have learned in 2 /12 yrs that eating out is not a bad thing. I usually order something not fried and semi healthy. Eat 1/4 to 1/2 of it depending on the portion they give and take the rest home and get 2 more meals out of it. Having the band is about balance, not giving up everything. Sometimes I just order an appetizer and that is enough to satisy me and I am not the only one still eating while everyone else is done. 3 Nyt, transforming jlaroux and gottobeme reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobinGirl 34 Posted July 29, 2012 I'm also going out to eat with my Mom this Monday. In preparation I looked up the menu and created a cheat sheet. It looks something like this: I know I won't be able to eat the entire salad, but by having the percentage of Protein calories I can make a better choice. Looks like I'm going with the Cilantro Lime chicken salad. BTW- this chart doesn't include the dressing, which I rarely use anyway. CALORIES % Fat % Carb PROTEIN % Protein Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad 351 33% 25% 37 42% Chicken Caesar Salad 500 48% 12% 49 39% Cobb Salad 600 58% 7% 54 36% Mixed berry & Chicken Salad 485 52% 16% 40 33% Chicken Artichoke & Goat cheese 347 49% 18% 26 30% Pistachio Chicken Salad 490 31% 42% 35 29% Chicken Apple & Goat Cheese Salad 550 44% 29% 39 28% Citrus Salmon Caesar Salad 740 65% 10% 45 24% Raspberry Waldorf Chicken Salad 570 42% 35% 34 24% Niçoise Salad with Salmon 587 55% 21% 34 23% Blackened Salmon Caesar 800 68% 9% 46 23% Chopped Greek Salad with Chicken 440 64% 15% 25 23% Shrimp Louis Salad 440 68% 10% 25 23% Chinese Chicken Salad 540 54% 27% 28 21% Blue Cheese & Pear Salad 560 61% 30% 16 11% Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad 370 59% 35% 9 10% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rapunzel 2 Posted July 30, 2012 I was there recently, I had the Thai chicken lettuce wraps from the appetizer menu. They give you some rice noodles to put in your lettuce cup but its easy to pass on those. Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
