    Now that I got that out of the way ("that's what she said"), the thing I hate the most is the fact that they...use... so...much...salt...in everything! All the components ingredients have sodium in them, and there's salt at the table, can you at least prepare my food with all of the seasonings EXCEPT salt and I can add more if I want? That's how I cook. I'm no gourmet but dammit my homecooked food tastes good. Luv me some fresh ground peppercorn and Mrs. Dash! ("I put the *kitten* on everything!")

    I enjoy eating out if it is a restaurant that has some sensible choices mixed in among the menu items. Like a lot of others on here I stress about trying to get a correct calorie count. I always err on the high side when logging my restaurant food. I hope all of you have a wonderful, safe Christmas!!!!!

    Constant fear of calories is not a balanced mindset that you will be able to maintain in the long run. Practice unclenching. Happy Holidays.

    I can usually find menu items that fit into my diet plan. What now bothers me about restaurant food is the sodium content. I don't normally focus on the amount of sodium I consume but I am now finding that after eating at a restaurant I retain excess fluid for 3-4 days. That's a lot of salt.
    Same for me. I'm almost vegan now and hubby is not; however, we've found some select restaurants that serve relatively healthy foods so we eat out maybe once or twice a month. But for me it's the sodium content -- it's in everything! For health reasons, I strive to keep my sodium levels under 1000mg a day, so that is the toughest part about eating out. Normally I try to find the nutrition info for a restaurant on-line if possible, and decide ahead of time what I'm having; but lots more restaurants now provide nutrition info if you ask for it before you order.

    Sunday I am going out for lunch then in the evening I am going to an Indian restaurant with hubby (he loves Indian food) sadly I don`t and the only 2 meals on the menu that I can eat are fried chicken with chips or steak and chips.

    So I will have to try and make some good choices at the lunchtime meal.

    Although to answer the original question yep I like to go out to eat, it is nice to wear something other than jeans and be waited on with no dishes and pans to wash.

    I do, I have been following WW core program for 5 years now. I love to cook and change full fat recipes to WW style. My daughter and I have both found that when we go out which is rarely we get upset tummies. The food is usually prepared with way to much fat and way too much salt. I get upset as I usually can make the meal so much better at home. I have almost crossed all chains style restaurants off my list to eat at. I used to go to Red Robin and get the Ensenada platter without the dipping sauce and salsa for my salad. The last two times there the chicken was weird, I think it is a processed breast. Needless to say they are now on my list of no goes! Much happier at home! :)

    I HATE eating out. Not only am I ALWAYS disappointed with the quality (my standards in food have skyrocketed since I started eating a lot cleaner) but I always get bad stomach and gut problems immediately-3 hours after I eat it. Not to mention feeling sluggish, bloated and irritable. And I'm like, "I actually spent MONEY to do that to myself?? Ugh, never again!". And I don't for a few months, until I forget how bad it was last time and I need to give myself a refresher course. :)
