Ok I have been doing ok for my first week but I have now gone in to panic mode, I have been invited out for a birthday lunch at the local pub and i am worried about what i should be eating ???
advice needed as i dont want to slip as im doing really well

Pomster, you have been doing AWESOMELY so don't underestimate your efforts! I personally feel that one day out of many is nothing, and that you should go and have a good time and just eat in moderation. I'm no health professional though, so maybe other people can be more helpful

But keep up your good work!

no need to panic! everything in moderation. sometimes i will get a to-go box right away, and put half in.

it's funny now that I only eat 1/2 when I go out, that I am actually full and don't need to eat the whole dang thing like I use to!!

Good Luck :flowerforyou:

not sure how to work out the calories what ever i do have

either have something from the grill (if they have it), a salad or if i were you i would get some kind of chicken with mashed potato, eat half and not bother about logging it in - sometimes working out the calories is too much ))
and anyways, i find when i go out its not the food that i have to worry about but drinks - look up calories in alcohol drinks you usually would have and then go for a white wine with soda and stretch it for the whole evening ... just saying ))
