Hello my MFP friends,

Going out to dinner tonite and am looking for advice on what to order. Getting tired of ordering salmon ... Would love to hear other ideas :-).

Here's link to menu:

    So many choices. it would depend on what my calorie count was at for days leading up to this.

    Depends on your goals but I would skip the fried foods and go with the steak and a healthy side and be sure to ask them to not use butter when they prep the food and leave any dressings or sauces on the side.

    I would probably just cancel the date. :)

    Girl, get what you want...it's date night! That being said, I would probably order either the shrimp stir fry or the Bistro seafood plate. But, oh my...a portobello burger...mmm....

    Please for the love of all things holy, do not order crab cakes at an irish bar in NJ. I live in NJ would rather cook them for you myself...I promise they are better.

    When I still ate meat, New York strip was one of my favorites.

    Great ideas guys!

    So my daily calorie count is 1600 and I've been at or within a few calories all week and for past several weeks as well.

    Breakfast and lunch are adding up to about 600 calories today, so saving up for dinner :)

    Was looking at the Red Rubin since it's a signature dish there, but no idea how to log it or figure out calories. Any ideas? Would love your help figuring out how to log it!

    Portobella burger looks good, too...

    Thanks! Jean

    PS. Edwardshar, LOL, no way I'm cancelling ;)

    I think the Open Face PJ Leanburger sounds wonderful! Less bread = less calories, it's a lean cut steak, and 6 oz is a perfect portion! Plus some greens on the side! Mmmm

    Bistro seafood sounds good to me. Crab cakes sound good too, though maybe sub the fries.
