    When i went there, I used my phone app to see how many calories each dish had. I ended up getting pasta with shrimp. I had the waiter box up half of it before he brought it to the table. I also had only 2 bread sticks, after I read how many calories they had!

    Get "outta there!" haha

    But really just ask the waiter for a low calorie/carb option.

    I personally would get whatever I want and enjoy my night....then hardcore it at the gym the next day :)

    I always get the soup, salad & breadstick combo. I'm eating at least one of those d*mn breadsticks even if they are a boatload of calories. The soup balances it all out.

    Apricot Chicken is always a safe bet too.

    Boyfriend is taking me to olive garden for dinner, any suggestions on Wth to get to go with my losing weight? I've only ate subway today.

    If you're getting a pasta, suggest one with a tomato-based sauce (such as spaghetti) instead of a cream-based sauce (such as an Alfredo). The calorie count is listed on the menu.

    Love the Apricot Chicken so much! I ordered it even when I wasn't trying to lose weight.

    I used to eat the Tour of Italy, salad to start and breadsticks, raspberry lemonade and of course the cheesecake at the end. No wonder I'm over 100 lbs overweight now. x

    I love the Tour of Italy and eat it almost every time I go to Olive Garden. I say eat what you want and use a weekly calorie target instead of a daily one. If you eat a huge amount one day, just eat less the next to make up for it.

    I recommend the chicken alfredo with about 27 breadsticks. :drinker:

    I always get the Parmesan Crusted Tilapia without pasta. It is listed on My Fitness Pal as 203 calories with the fish only. And then I have steamed broccoli and the total for the meal is 233 calories.
