    Well my hubby likes to take me out 3-4 times a week at lest. I just order the healthiest thing on the menu, and i usually only eat half of my order so im not consuming tons of calories. And I usually skip bread rolls/chips unless they fix in my macros/calories. A lot of times restaurants have special 550 calories or less menus. Well anyway I've had no problem losing body fat and inches from my body even tho we eat at restaurants as often as we do. What I'm saying is you have control over how much you do eat.

    a WEEK????? How does your budget survive that lol

    Hahaha... benefits of a rich man. :D

    not a foodie though, huh? :wink:

    Try to incorporate more cardio as a couple....You'll work up a nice sweat and that should combat the weight gain. There is always room for eating out as round 2

    Look up the menu before you go and choose something healthy, don't veer off of your plan once you get there. Also sometimes I will get a box with my meal and box up 1/2 my entree so that I'm not tempted to eat the whole thing. Last night I had steak, mushrooms & veggies out, I still stayed under my calories for the day.

    Tell him straight out..if he wants a gf who is too self-conscious to have sex, and he wants to be broke, by all means go out 3-4 days a week. That is exactly the road you're going down. Ask me how I know....

    1. No bread basket/sticks/rolls! Get the waiter to take them away and replace it with a jug of water.

    2. Order from the starter menu/kids/salad menu and ask them to serve it at the same time as he has his main.

    3. Be mindful of what you are eating when you are on your own to factor in going out that night.

    4. If you are going to fancy pants restaurants, they will happily take your/his money to make up a plate of prettily presented seasonal vegetables or fruit so feel free to request that instead of anything off the menu (good enough for Posh Spice/Victoria Beckham).

    This just in: Eating out is not making you gain weight. The food you choose to order and then put in your mouth is making you gain weight. Externalizing the problem is preventing you from solving it.

    Owning the problem is the first step in correcting it. It is very much possible to eat at a restaurant EVERY DAY and still lose weight.
