I am leaving in about 15 minutes to Denny's with my sister (her choice). WHAT do I order? I am looking, and most of their stuff is soooo fattening. I only have 600 calories left for dinner, so I know I am going to go over. But even grilled chicken sandwiches are like 500.

Any ideas?

    My co-worker went there the other day and they have a 'fit-fare' menu with choices such as:

    Fit-Fare Grilled Chicken Breast Salad w/ Lemon or Lime Wedges -- 290 calories

    Fit-Fare Chicken Sandwich w/applesauce -- 490 calories

    Fit Fare Boca Burger -- 410 calories

    If you are still hungry then get a side salad for 113 calories with fat free ranch (40 calories/2 tbsp.)

    You can do it! :drinker:

    I have never been to Dennys so I cant help with the calorie. But I would drink lots of water, to help you feel full. Order water at Dennys and the grilled chicken sandwhich or another meal. I would then come home and go for a fast pace walk to burn off the calories.

    Sometimes you have to live life a little as long as you work off the calories.

    Thanks for the tips!

    I'm glad I looked before I went, some things are much higher than I expected.
