Ok, so my husband and I have decided to "stop somewhere" on the way home for something to eat. We are SICK and TIRED of eating at home, lol. :grumble:
And please, those of you who are going to say "Don't stop, just cook when you get home."....don't reply at all, lol. :explode: That's the whole point. :laugh:
We want a night where we don't HAVE to cook... But don't want to go to a "sit down" dinner either. All suggestions are appreciated...and if you have the cal count, even better!

If you do subway, get a foot long and then split it between the two of you.0 -
I love the oatmeal at McD's. Of course, when compared to oatmeal at home it's higher calories, but that's just what happens when you eat out.
I like Subway! A turkey breast sub on whole wheat with lots of veggies and ask for the LIGHT mayo if you're a mayo gal.
Chili's has margarita chicken that is AMAZING. High in sodium, but not too terrible on calories or fat. Served with beans. yum!
There is an asagio peppercorn steak at Applebee's that is TO.Die.For! Under 550 calories! They have a few other under 550 meals too.
Enjoy your treat!!
(ps. Chili's and Applebees have curbside carry outs, so you don't have to sit inside)0 -
Subway- my absolute favorite!0
-
Between classes I have no time or other options other than going to Burger King, & I order a Grilled Chicken on Ciabatta with no mayo, & it's 360 calories. Not too bad, decently healthy and pretty delicious0

Panera or Chik Fil A!0
-
Panera is my favorite. Jasons deli has good options too. Also Zoes kitchen if there is one in your area. And chickfila!0

McAlister's or Panera are my favorites!!0

McDonald's Asian Salad is THE BOMB and so is Wendy's Baja Salad (with chili) YUMMY! They are my FAVORITE!!
PS...the Wendy's salad is available in a half portion too and is very filling.0 -
Some sit-down restaurants have take-away service too. Check out the websites for Applebees (they list cal count for many dishes), Chili's (the Margarita Chicken is very light and very tasty), or whatever is in your area for chain restaurants. Just call ahead and they'll have it ready for you.0

Tendercrisp chicken salad is 410 cals and then how ever much for the dressing. thats where i stop.0 -
I always hate to stop at Subway and spend the money. I eat sandwiches all the time at home and can pay a fraction of the price......I wish there was something to just grab when you're on the go too. And not a salad or sandwich!!!! I saw somewhere that a place had a turkey burger but that the regular hambuger would be better for you?!?! AHHHH! What is wrong with these places??0

I actually had some Wendys last night and they have the new berry almond chicken salad. I had the half size w/vinegarette dressing and it was scrumptous! I think the total cals were around 350 to include the dressing.0

i really think you can go anywhere that sounds good to you!!! Healthy options are everywhere, its about being smart! No mayo, no cheese, thin crust pizza extra sauce less cheese, grilled not fried, salad instead of fries(hold the ranch) Go to whatever sounds good, just be smart about it and you''ll be just fine!!!0

I'm joining the Panera bandwagon. I love that place. You can get a tasty meal for a reasonable price and whatever calories you want. When I need something filling but low in calories, I do a Classic salad, which is about 170 calories without chicken [not much more if you do.] Their sandwiches tend to be in the 500-900 range. They also do a pick two of half items, so I can get a sandwich and the classic half salad and still be under 500. And all their calorie information is easily available, so no guessing.0

subway buffalo chicken without the ranch or their teryaki chicken is a good choice. sushi and sweet tomatoes are good options or even chick-fil-a grilled chicken sandwich.0

Taco Bell! Steak or Chicken Fresco Soft tacos about 160 calories!0
