Going out for dinner tomorrow night! Advice?

startingtoday94

Hi all,

I’m going out to dinner to La Porchetta tomorrow night and I was hoping you guys could give me some advice! I’m tossing up between these two…
1. Small bruschetta - homemade pizza base topped with diced fresh tomato, fresh red onion, fresh basil, olive oil, salt & pepper
2. Warm chicken salad - grilled chicken tossed with fresh lettuce, cucumber, tomato, topped with sun-dried tomatoes & drizzled with balsamic, mustard & white wine dressing

The small bruschetta has 335 calories per serve and the warm chicken salad has 463 calories per serve!

I’m confused by ‘per serve’ … is a small bruschetta pizza considered ‘one serve’? ... or only one slice?

This is the nutritional info provided http://www.laporchetta.com.au/upload/modules/file_storage/menu_KJ.pdf

Thanks!!

eat whatever you like. It will not affect your progress. You'll be no fatter after eating a "bad meal" than you would be thinner after eating a healthy one...

People don't eat out too often these days, so just enjoy it and forget the calories...

I imagine per serve would be "per what they give you" so I'd go for the lower calorie option, makes sense

I'd say go with the lesser and the chicken salad sounds great,but if you want to use it as a splurge the other sounds equally tasty. Whenever I have choices like this, I make sure I go with it only if I won't feel too guilty afterward.

Agreed

Personally I would go with the chicken salad - the protein will keep you full longer.
