    Yes, CF has large portions but as some of the others have said you have to Plan, Plan, Plan.

    check out the web site for a resturant before you head out
    know how many calories you have that can be eaten
    Never eat everything on your plate, there are very few things outside of a side salad with dressing on the side that you can eat all of

    When I eat at CF I order grilled Salmon and a side salad, Eat 1/2 of the salmon, all of the salad and if my hubby wants dessert I have ONE bite of his and by then I'm full anyway.

    You can't lock yourself up in your home you need to learn how to eat and live in this world and having a Plan helps as well as will power.

    Awesome post because I have a business lunch there today.
    I have already planned out my lunch: lunch cobb salad. It's still 569 calories (as listed on MFP), but it's light years better than anything else.
    I don't eat fish, so all fish is out for me except starkist tuna lol.
    Thank you! Without this post I probably would not have remembered to plan ahead and now I can feel comfortable going there and being engaged in the convo without stressing about what to order.
