One meal shouldn't undo all your good work, but if you want to limit the damage choose something more healthy than lasagna. Good choices would be grilled fish with salad and new potatoes; Salad with ham, tuna, grilled chicken etc; chargrilled burger with salad (veggie or chicken would probably be less calories than beef, but beef would be Ok if it was grilled and you held off on the mayo and fries); paella; falafel and salad; bean casserole or veggie chilli with rice; stuffed peppers; pasta with mussels or baby clams.

Even in a local pub it should be possible to make healthy choices.

Good luck!

All good suggestions, but watch the dressings on salads, they can be very high. If possible ask for sauces/dressings to be served on the side, then you can limit them.

Yes, I forgot to mention dressings... I always have my salads 'naked' so I didn't think to mention that the dressing can add loads of calories if you're not careful.

Sometimes if you look the pub on line they will give you the nutrition value on there. I went to a Chef and Brewer at lunch time, and when i got home looked them up and low and behold they had their nutrition values on line bit not on the menu in the pub. Wonder why these places don't put it on the menu.

We are out tomorrow at an indian, i'm veggie I do eat fish any suggestions what would be my best choices ?

Personally I prefer to choose whatever I fancy when I'm going out to eat and compensate by earning extra calories through exercise or having a low calorie day before or after.

Problem is with putting it on the menu is it influences everyone, not just those trying to lose weight... what about those with eating disorders... or those just wanting to enjoy a meal,

Generalising here and trying to find a nice way of putting it but there is also a pattern with where you can find nutritional info.... you tend to find lower end chains will have it in store or even on the menu... Weatherspoons, Harvester, McDonalds,
Middle of the road places have it available online - Chef and Brewer, Zizzis,
High end places its impossible to find anywhere... lol


I always order blind when I go out because I don't do it daily and I want to enjoy it not think of the extra exercise I need for every mouthful
I say just use your brain, you know what's relatively healthy so make the best choice you can, but don't focus on that too much... enjoy it!!
