I went yesterday. They have a shrimp special. I shared a meal with a friend. It was 30 shrimp (very small ones) we ordered shrimp scampi and the mango jalepeno shrimp (mango on the side) It was very good! I didn't eat as much as my friend of course but it was the perfect meal for us. You could always take some home

Almost every restaurant has nutritional information available for public view on the web. They have some excellent options. Before going out to eat in a restaurant, I check it out first to determine what my choices that I will allow myself so that there is no guess work.

Somewhere on this site I posted in a thread an outline of many of these that were excellent low fat, low carb choices.

Crab Linguini Alfredo

Half Order 700 calories, 38g fat, 36g Protein, 1450g sodium, 52g carbs

Full Order 1350 calories, 74g fat, 68g Protein, 2800g sodium, 103g carbs

The half order has the same or more fat than a whole chocolate milkshake or a Whopper.

The regular order has more fat than a Big Mac with frieds and milkshake together. Only a few grams of fat less than an entire stick of butter.

We just stopped in red lobster to look at the menu. We ended up going across the street to Olive Garden. At Red Lobster, any of the grilled salmons or shrimps would be good. There are quite a few options. At Olive Garden, I like the new Italian Small Plates part of the menu. Perfect size in order to eat without packing leftovers and only 5 dollars! Can you believe it?

Shrimp cocktail, it's always a best bet.

We ate at Olive Garden last week for a birthday and I got the herb salmon with asparagus and broccoli and it was good! Got three meals out of it!

Sure, still have the table menu in front of me:

Tortelloni al Forno

Shrimp Crostini

Sausage Fonduta

Bruschetta Duo

Grill chicken Spiedini (I had this)

Sicilian Meatbslls (next time!)

Pan Seared Mozzarella

Parmesan Roasted Asparagus

The chicken Spiedini had 4 oz of chicken and I had a single bite of wife's salad. Perfect size!

Being on the other side of the planet. I've never been to a Red Lobster.

Having said that grilled seafood, especially shell fish, is my go to food if I'm anywhere.

If it were me, I would stop at a good restaurant, get something to go, and then sneak it in to Red Lobster or Olive Garden and eat it.
