I am staying away (obviously) from the pizza and pasta, so i thought i would go with some kind of chicken. But whats the difference(healthy wise) between a calzone, gyro, pita, hoagie, sandwich, sub AHHH so confused. :grumble: :laugh: thanks for the input :happy:

I'd say the hoagie is the safest--there's no sauce on it. The cheese isn't the greatest, but it's not the worst. I'd bet you could find something close enough in the food section, if you look.

Good luck!

I'd go with the caesar pita because you could get the dressing on the side and have a little if you wish, as long as you don't eat all of the dressing then you're good! Thats how I do that. As long as I get whatever I know is fattening on the side then I'm good. :drinker:

I also think the hoagie sounds...healthiest, but do you want to down a hoagie in front of your date?
Also I agree with another person that you could get the caesar dressing on the side, but do you want this to be a typical...salad date.
So many choices,
I like the Gyros!!:laugh:

I would go for the garlic chicken calzone, and ask for no cheese or sauce. The wheat bread = good carbs as long as its whole wheat. Good luck and enjoy your date!
