MY wife wants to take me to olive garden for the soup salad and breadstick special! She suprised me so I can't say no! What do you recommend I do?
Half a plate of salad?
only one cup of soup?
Which soup?

Just watch your portions and you will be ok, just one bread stick. I had actually looked at the nutritional info for OG one time and remember finding out that eating pasta fagouli soup (can't spell) was less calories (and high fiber) than salad.

what exactly is in that soup? is it good?

PureAndHealthy

Minestrone soup is only 100 calories per bowl. I usually get the unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks but don't eat the breadsticks... or maybe have 1 for 150 calories (usually not worth it to me). I'll eat a couple bowls of minestone and get my salad without cheese, croutons, or dressing... ask for vinegar and/or lemon wedges - add no-calorie sweetener and voila - a tasty salad for 70 calories! :bigsmile: Drink water and you're good to go! Or the Venetian Apricot Chicken is good and the dinner portion is 380 calories and you don't really need the whole thing. Olive Garden has some good options.

Eat Salad - with vinagrette dressing (not much tho) drink lots of water and ditch the breadsticks. Stay strong !! Resist the temptation
