    Hmmm....

    Well, what do you like to eat?

    What are your options as far as where to go so we can help you choose one?

    Applebee's has a portion of the menu that has lower calorie counts - I tried several of those dishes and liked them.
    At Mexican restaurants you can always order fajitas -- lots of veggies and very little fat.

    Mexican style pork taco's on corn tortillas should be a pretty decent meal.

    Thank you all. ;)

    most of the restaurants have calories listed here on the web. Logans, Red lobster or fast foods like subway which is my favorite.

    Souplantation/Sweet Tomatoes. People make fun, but it's a great place for a yummy salad and counts as being Not Home. :)

    Be careful with the fajitas. I looked up nutrition info on one at Applebees and it was around 1000 calories. I would go through the database here and get a feel for what menus have the best options. I do that, ie at Longhorn, Chipotle, Unos...

    Be careful with Applebee's. Good calorie counts for a dinner, but loaded with sodium.

    What do you like to eat? what are your goals?

    Stop thinking of high or low calorie making it healthy or not. If you're going out pick something you enjoy, log your best estimate of what you've had, try to make your choice fit within your day.

    Any place that serves food... ;)
    Eat what you want and enjoy it... One high calorie meal will not derail your long term goals.

    Ahh, we went to Cotton Patch for Veterans Day and I tried one of the lower calorie items (They don't have a "Low Calorie Menu" but I stalk nutrition graphs) and it was amazing. They do these things called "Right Size Plate" and even items not on that are a perfect size. They don't over-feed you there like most resturants. Cajun Trio (Tilapia with shrimp and a crawfish cream on rice) was the perfect portion and low calorie/fat!!!!!! Doo it. :)

    Depends on your macros among other things. But for a treat I love Panera. Your best friend here is the internet; pick your favorite places and then go through the nutrition information. Planning ahead when eating out is very important.

    What we aren't ever supposed to go out anymore?

    There is an important part of losing weight, that is the mental health part, going out enjoying myself is all wonderful on the mental part, and helped to make it sustainable for me

    I am of the belief that you can make just about any dining out experience fit into your day. It might take a little research and/or some common sense. :) I'm with Jasonmh630 on this. :)
