We often go out to eat for lunch (I don't have much of a choice as I have no where else to go and don't particularly want to spend ALL day in the office)...and I usually get a salad and grilled chicken. Today is Mexican...any suggestions as to what I should or shouldn't order?! I don't really like beans...I usually have a small chicken quesadilla and one soft shell beef taco....and a ton of chips & salsa I will be skipping this time!

Thanks :)

    the main thing is to order without the cheese. you could get chicken fajitas - eat mostly the chix and veggies, maybe one tortilla.

    Fajitas - without all the accompanying crap
    salad without the shell
    tortilla soup

    barbacoa or shredded beef or carnitas are a better choice than ground beef

    Fijitas or carne asada is what I usually get. Skip the cheese and don't eat all of your meal.

    Don't eat too many chips. I had a mexican lunch not too long ago. My diary is open if you want to go find it. It was on January 1. I had chicken fajitas, ate both the tortilla rolls, lettuce, and rice. Even had some cheese (which I realize now I didn't add).

    I agree with the chicken fajitas, there is a lot to eat but it is very satisfying

    So I ended up getting Chicken Fajitas, ate two tortillas, chicken, and some of the veggies (not a fan of big chunks) but I also loaded it up with salsa. I wanted to have some chips so I limited myself and didn't use cheese or sour cream. Now just have to figure out how to log it!
