Eating Out Guide

[CT Fats 82]

Hey Guys

Is there a place on the board for selecting healthy, sleeve friendly meals when eating out at popular restaurants? If there isn't could anyone post up their experiences at places that are well known, what they ordered and how it worked with the sleeve? Places like Chili's, Friday's, Red Lobster, Subway, Panera, Au bon pan, you know the ones easily accesisble no matter where you live.

oopss i just posted something similar here now and I just saw this. I think there is a lot of iPhone/ smart phones apps where you can see the calories on each meal before ordering in Chili's or other restaurants. My favorite apps are "fast food calories" ,"Dotti's Food Score"

As I posted on Liliana's post, I pretty much stay with Soups having them pureed early on. Salads also work for me and it is always nice having a to-go for later. Pretty much all those places have their nutritional stuff posted online. As a former cook, though, know that what is posted and how it is actually prepared are two different things. Usually always more butter or oil. Portion sizes are also larger in real life.

I think, through this process, you may find going out to dinner occurs less often as you have been forced to prepare more meals and do meal planning. At least, this has been true for me.
