    Never been able to find it for them, or Frankie and Bennys. Log individual food items in your diary and see what it comes out as. For example; a pasta dish - log the pasta, the sauce, the oils, the veg, the meat all included. I would say that any dining out meals will have more calories than if you cooked it at home, due to the butter and oils they use but just enjoy it :)

    I'd have a pasta dish because, salads LOADS of sodium when dining out. For example; Pizza Express salads have about 800-900 calories whereas their Legera pizzas (vegetable and chicken) have 500! I know which I would rather have!!
    Pasta is great, as long as you don't have a creamy sauce with it, so yep...tomato would be fab! And....tomatoes and pasta together gives a balanced GI level :smile:
