    For faster food, Chipotle. I get a chicken bowl ( no tortilla), just a little rice, black beans, and medium salsa. No cheese, sour cream or guac. I like that they will let you subtract anything. And they'll always give me extra salsa. Sometimes I have them add the corn salsa on the side to increase my veggies for the day.

    For going out to eat, Uno's isn't exactly low caolorie, but they have good nutrition information on their website. You have to be careful because some of the entrees in the under 500 calorie menu are two servings, but if you read carefully you can make good choices. And Cheesecake Factory has a separate menu where everything is under a certain level. My boyfriend is VERY tempted by the higher calorie entrees that are on menus where the lower calorie items are just listed among the regular menu, so I only let him choose from their special lower calorie menu. The food's not "diet," just smaller portions or more healthy combinations, so it still tastes good.

    When I am out to eat somewhere without a lot of options, I usually get a garden salad with grilled chicken or salmon on top.
