Eating out... what do you get and where?

[chopper9451]

sucks bad when you have a preggo wife that does not cook and wants to go out to eat ALL the TIME! What do you guys get at diff restraunts?

Ill start it off. We were gonna go to spagetti factory last night cause she loves at as well as Olive Garden. I got lucky and we went to Izzys and I just ate salad with a little light ranch and like 7 grilled chicken thighs and legs

I start off with the first serious post to your question. It doesnt matter where I go, I will order anything with chicken or fish and I try to lay off the additives like the sauces and extra cheese and stuff. I will order either a salad or fruit with the main meat. I'm just starting to get serious about my diet though, so I could use some more pointers.

[Phate]

if you go to a breakfast place, get an omelet made with egg beaters

for lunch a grilled chicken salad or chicken breast

if your wife likes italian than ask if they have chicken with olive oil sprinkled on it or something like that

I dont even look at a menu. I simply tell the waiter what I need. If they dont have plain chicken or fish, veggies, fruit or rice...then its not a restaurant.

that takes the win! i perfect response!! ha

[chopper9451]

olive garden is my killer. I hate to walk in the doors cause those tasty bread sticks and fet alfredo is SOOO good.

dukkitdalaw my cheat on sunday was cold stone. man that is good! the mocha with choc chips and reeses cup! MMMMM

[HereWeGoAgain]

Its all about your motivation and self control. I eat out almost every single day and I'm cutting and doing a wonderful job at it. I eat grilled chicken or steak everywhere I go with a plain baked potato or side salad or fruit. Stay away from cheeses, butters, MOST sauces, sodas, oils, fried foods, and you should be good. It's not that difficult, just takes some getting used to and adjusting.

I go to Subway, Quiznos, Moes, Chipolte, Chilis, Fridays, Houstons, J Alexanders, Cheesecake, PF Changs, etc and never have a problem eating clean.

[chopper9451]

love PFchangs man! oh yaa.... i hit up subway all the time if i am forced to eat out. otherwise the wife has been good about letting me pick dinner locations. had olive garden last month and it was oh so good. maybe i can have it again end of summer. im tryin to be REALY strict

You cant eat shit at a chinese place unless its upscale the small places use chicken with filler in it and the other meat is all fat laden garbage.... so forget the steamed chicken a broccoli

[Edgar]

sashimi and a lil sushi

I hope that is some kind of sugar free cookie.

a little bit off the subject but still on it at the same time but im goin to culinary school and i am curious how a restaurant that serves healthy food that taste almost the same as the unhealthy stuff might do...cause i might open one up when i get out of school....but besides that....it aint that hard to eat at a restaurant u just gotta have the will power to tighen up and not give in.....any place you go is going to have the protiens and carbs and all the bad shit seperated.....its not always pre made...so they shouldent have a problem just grilling a plain chicken breast or some kind of fish without putting all of the shit on it.....its accually less work for them so the wount have any problems doing it....i know cause i work in a restaurant.

FAJITAS!

You can get them pretty much anywhere and you don't have to eat the tortillas. I can't believe no one else posted this. You can diet on just restaraunt fajitas.

Just eat the meat (chicken, steak, or shrimp) and the salsa, sour cream, and possibly the cheese if you don't care about fat. Ditch the tortillas. Always pronounce it wrong when you order.

"I'll have the Chicken Fah-J-EYE-Ta's with no tortillas!" Kind of rhymes with VAGINA!!

[chopper9451]

fajitas sound good right now

[g0dsend]

I always order Ribeye sandwiches, god dam are they good...

[IamtheChitt]

I'm with forgiveness on the fajitas....

[crawdaddy]

Fajitas...Qdoba and Baja Fresh, cheap,quick and there's usually hot lil things behind the counter.

[chopper9451]

Baja fresh is way good... baja burrito!
