Whats a good dinner option as far as eating out goes?

You can find options that fit your goals pretty much anywhere. What's close/convenient? Look up their menu online and see what your choices are.

I've found that the large grocery stores that have a dine in area, usually attached to their deli, now have a good selection of lean protein on their salad bars. Or, you can buy one piece of chicken from the hot food counter and eat that with a huge salad with some low fat dressing.

the food is dependent on your taste. I did however want to give you one of my tips when dining out.

when you order your food, ask for a to-go box when you are being served. Immediately put half of your food into the box and put it away. out of mind out of sight.. you will have lunch/dinner for the next day. Most out to eat places give you over 2 portion sizes of food, you will set yourself up for success by getting it off your plate. We are mindless eaters, if you are in conversation, you won't even realize your plate is empty at the end of the outing.

see if the restaurant has a website.. maybe you can plan in advance nutritional information to fit your calorie needs for the day. Most of the chain places offer this as an option online.

Remember, if you feel you have indulged too much.. you can always do additional workout to burn away those additional calories for the week. Don't deprive yourself, it is one night, you deserve to enjoy yourself.. and maintain a healthy relationship with food, know moderation is the key to success and set yourself up that way.

best of luck!

Tonight is just a night i wanna grab something fast or go sit down and eat, i just dont wanna cook tonight but what is a good place to go to and what should i get that is both satisfying, hearty and healthy, is there any fast food options? or a restaurant that has good choice. Thanks guys!!

Surprisingly, unless you get a simple side salad with an oil based dressing, salads tend to be heavy in calories. Many think that just because it's a salad that it will be healthy. I went to Wendy's with the family and ordered the small chili and a 4-piece spicy chicken nugget. Filled me up on only 350 calories.

If you go to a place with a kid's menu, then order off of that. They tend to be smaller in portion size, taste good, and offer milk and fruit instead of processed desserts or sugary drinks. Or many restaurants offer healthier options or offer a "value menu" that is usually smaller in portion. Look for those and you'll be good to go!

ETA: Forgot to mention the Wendy's salad is usually around 300 calories or more. Depending on the kind. Just some food for thought!

Subway double chopped chicken salad no dressing and all the veggies. It's huge
