I hope I helped you in some way! I know for me anyway, I got out to eat a LOT! It's probably the reason that I gained weight over the years. But, researching options has really helped me! Did you know that most places serve meals that are well over 1000 calories? That's probably over half of your day's intake!
If you have any restaurants to share, feel free! If you know of any more options to share, I'd love to hear them.

Or, if you have a smart phone, just download the "Eat This, Not That" app.

Thanks for the info!

There is an app that I downloaded on my android phone that has all the menu with the nutrition info for all of the major restaurant chains called:

Restaurants Weight Loss Diet

I use this when I have to eat out for work which is sometimes several times a week when I am traveling. It helps me pick the right foods from the menu.
