Hello All,
This is my first post. Today is my wife and I's 10 year anniversary. We plan on just having a relaxing dinner out at a local restaurant.
With that said, I just started using MFP on Monday and now it has me thinking heavily about where I should go out tonight. I don't want to be super strict on my calories because I believe you should be able to relax from time to time and eat what you want, but I am looking at this as an opportunity to pay attention to where we go and make a smart choice.
At any rate, anyone have any ideas? I have 900 calories to spend tonight. :-)

Best thing to do is find the restaurant's website and find the nutritional facts for their menus. I love doing that before heading out so I know my best options. You would be surprised by the things you will be able to eat! (and not eat lol)0

Red Lobster!0

Olive Garden has some pretty good low cal dishes especially the Venetian Apricot Chicken.. Happy Anniversary0

Why Red Lobster, besides the obvious decent sea food? :-)
I was wondering if my favorite steak house was a decent choice if I substituted the potato for vegetables?0 -
I second CallMe - definitely look up ahead of time on the restaurants website, and even if you don't choose what you are going to eat, you can have a good idea of what to stay away from. Don't forget to look up cocktails too.
Happy Anniversary!0 -
oilve garden post their calories right on the menu....they have grilled steak and chicken spindini with veggies basically skews and veggies...you will have enough for a bread stick and salad i believe the meal is not too high in calories......or if you go somewhere else just ask for the lunch portion so you can splurge without going over too much:) good luck and happy anniversary!!!!!0
