in Food and Nutrition
So I have planned out my tomorrow day...why? because we are going to a Hibachi Grill for my daughters 7th Birthday (her choice)...now how do you stay on track while eating out? For me, because I count my macros (pro/carb/fat) I was able to think about the foods that they have at the restaurant..so I did a little research and have a GREAT meal planned. I am also hitting all of my macros so I KNOW I will NOT overeat and sabotage my wonderful work thus far. My calories are still good (even though that is not my worry) Eating according to your macros has given me such freedom to be able to do this. So when it comes to eating out with family..I say GO FOR IT. Don't be a prisoner to food limits =)

    Good approach. When I eat out, I estimate calories based on portion size, and I eat slowly so that I don't overeat before feeling full. If a restaurant provides nutrition information, I'll use that; if not, I'll look for similar items at other restaurants. (I usually eat in independent restaurants, not chains, so often there's no nutrition info.)

    This happens to me a lot... I kind of guess but its so great when the nutrition is available. Always watching myself =) Good job!!
