I am going out to dinner tonight for a co-worker's retirement party. It's an italian restaurant (not a chain) and I have no clue what to eat...
My normal italian food of choice is eggplant parmigiana (pre-diet)

HELP! I want to make a good choice...

    I bet you'll find a nice salad topped with chicken there with a low cal vinegarette dressing on the side and Ice Tea. :happy:

    If you dont go out very often then I say eat whatever you feel like!

    If you want to make a better choice - choose something in a tomato-y sauce (rather than cream), skip the parmesan added at the table, ask for a smaller portion if possible (or order entree size with a side salad), avoid things with sausage, chirizo etc... and try to choose something with vegetables in it.

    See if you can find their resaturant website with the menu. You can then check better ( aka - wiser) options prior to arrriving.
    if not able to see menu , check MFP database for "italian food" choices. it can help.

    I would suggest ordering a child's portion of something.

    Ask for a to go box when they bring you your food. Divide half of it and put in the box. Out of sight out of mind. Give it to someone at work tomorrow. :bigsmile:
