Ugh. I officially hate eating at restaurants now.

Good point. Plenty of good cooks are happy for any excuse to go off - menu, and the prices are often pretty good.
If not - and especially if the prices are high (like for a naked slab of salmon or tuna sans tater tots) - that might be a sign to pulll up stakes....0 -
Sushi rolls without rice are called Naruto rolls. Every place makes them a bit differently but it's usually crab, shrimp or salmon with avocado, wrapped with cucumber with a sauce. I've had some delicious ones but to me it's just not that filling.1

I limited myself to only one order of rolls, where I used to always have two - so not much rice. I felt fine although my son told me later when I *ahem* farted that it smelled like "something rotten in the state of denmark" and I couldn't help but laugh...4

It's not because I love carbs, but because if I do accidentally eat a bunch of them, the worst thing I get is some bulk-up in the muscles, and feeling like my body is a burning building, and ridiculous energy levels for a few hours. Being left feeling hazy, bloated, and miserable due to potentially hidden ingredients would piss me off to no end.
It's a mixed blessing. On the one hand, you can't get away with "slipping" or "cheating," so it keeps motivation high. On the other hand, you have to be really diligent about everything.1 -
I LOVE eating in restaurants. Salads with meat or seafood. Bunlesss burgers with everything on them and extra salad. Steaks. Sashimi. The list is endless.0

Do they have a hibachi grill? Then it would be easy to choose.0

Mongolian Grill is a great place/way to eat too.
They are all essentially exactly the same: get a bowl, fill it with the raw ingredients and sauces, and then watch as they use their high-temperature mega-skillet to cook it up in a jiffy. Very exciting stuff. (That sounds sarcastic, but I actually mean it! It’s fun!) They also are pretty darn cheap for a meal out.
Expect to find a long buffet complete with frozen meat shavings, veggies, tofu, and sauces. Just grab yourself a bowl and fill ‘er up with whatever strikes your fancy. There’s always a guide posted by the sauces for common flavours (watch out for sweetened ones like Teriyaki, etc) or just mix it up and have fun. Then leave your bowl on the counter beside the man with the giant grill and go sit down. They bring it to you after cooking. Skip rice and udon noodles as a side, of course.2 -

I've heard about those places, and I think there's one near me. (Yeap just Googled it, Ghengis Grill, about fifteen minutes from me). Gonna have to hit them up one of these days, the next time Bug is up here as opposed to me being at her house.1 -

Hope she's olfactorily forgiving/oblivious when it comes to further-fermented Sauerkraut pounding the beach in her powder room.....

What are the best sauces to get at the Mongolian Grill type places? Typically they offer The Hibachi or Teriyaki sauces. Perhaps get one of them on the side but would be best cooked in it . Or could you just go for garlic and oil and maybe some soy?0

There's always something to eat when going out. I went to a Quinceanera (think Sweet 16 for Hispanics) and they had rice, beans, tortillas but I made myself a plate of the good stuff. Birria (goat slow cooked with chiles) and chicken chile verde with a side salad. Sure, I got some weird looks from people "What?? No tortilla?" But you just shake your head and smile.
