Hi nursejen. i eat out alot and all I can say is fish, fish, and more fish. it goes down easy and is usually a good healthy choice as long as it's not fried and if there is any sauce, it's on the side so you can add it yourself. Enjoy!!

I eat out a lot socially so I googled the nutrition for all of my friends and my favorite eating spots. Anything under my calories count went on the list. So now when we go somewhere I pull up my list and choose from that.

That is a great idea. To have a list of the foods you like and the calorie count already done before you go. I like this.

I usually get a bowl of Soup and I eat so slow it last me through the appetizers and dinner. Desert a cup of coffee.

I eat out a real lot also. I have salads with salmon, chicken or shrimp. Eat the Protein first, they say. I also have grilled chicken at Italian restaurants with a little Pasta or meatballs with Tomato sauce. I do eat bread in restaurants but only the crust parts. I also have Chinese food. I have a luncheon special, eat half and bring the rest home. I do fine with eating out. My biggest miss is lobster. Since the band I can't chew it. I am from Boston, we live on lobster here. Good luck, enjoy yourself. Also look at the children's menu. I have a LapBand card explaining the band and asking the restaurants if I can order smaller portions.

It really depends on the restaurant but I mostly stick with chicken or fish.

I eat fish or chicken. Lemon baked sole is awesome with a side of corn. Or herb crusted chicken with green Beans. Usually the dinner comes with 2 sides, i get my vegtable and get the other side for my fiance which is usually fries for him. And yes sometimes i do steal a fry. But only 1 lol

I know in a previous post I said I get Soup and that is all correct but I have to say that for the most part my success is due to staying out of restaurants, diners, and dives.

I agree I am going to try to stay out by packing a cooler and bringing with me but when I fly I can not. Also I frequently have Business dinners/lunches so I frequently have no choice. I guess it sounds like I will be having chicken and fish!
