Not sure where we are going for my grandmas 73rd birthday yet-but we are going out to eat.

Besides salad, what are some good healthy restraunt meals you guys have tried?

(preferably from Outback or a Mexican restraunt since thats probably where i'll be going)

thanks! :)

    Any grill (beef or chicken or fish) would be healthy. Avoid dressings, be careful with salads for same reason... I find steaks as one of best healthy alternatives, especially with fresh vegetables.

    some sort of meat, no dressings or sauces, and veggies for a side, water to drink, you should be okay, calorie wise. The problem I have with restaurant food is sodium.

    Outbacks 6 ounce sirloin meal is not too high in calories. I had it with a naked sweet potato and steamed vegys. I try to stay away from salads at restaurants because the dressing is so high in calories, usually I choose fish or something that's not all sauced up.

    Outback has a simple chicken and vegetable platter, I don't recall the name of it but that's probably a safe option.
