We are going to melting pot tonight for date night and its going to be my entire days worth of calories.. and that is without dessert. (im full once i get to dessert and id actually prefer two cheese orders over the chocolate) Anyway, so what i am wondering is should i just not eat until tonight and stay hydrated all day? I can make it until dinner.. i think lol! what would you do in this situation?

    Well, you can choose to go over on your calories, and just have a good time. Or you can eat less during the day. I would't fast because it's important to hit your protein goal, so I would eat just protein throughout the day. I'm sure you'll get your fill of dietary fat and carbs at dinner.

    I think you should eat your fruit and veg through-out the day because the food there probably isnt gonna be that healthy and i doubt there'll be enough greens. So don't starve until dinner but consider this ur cheat day :D

    i always get the steak lovers and according the website it has 50 grams of protein so with that and the cheese and everyhing else i will actually be pretty good on protien the funny thing is i put it all in my diary and i almost hit my macros on the dot a little under on carbs haha!

    I think I would choose a different place to eat.

    good thing your not my date huh? i will never let "dieting" stop me from enjoying delicious food and a great time with my wonderful husband. i am merely asking if one was in my situation if they would not eat for the day.

    It's one day, just go over your goal. No big deal. And it's not like you are going to be thousands of calories over anyway.

    OP - I love Melting Pot! I plan for it, and workout heavy the day before. I then just have juice the day that I'm going, and enjoy every course :) I also agree about the cheese course - it's amazing!

    Have fun!
