I'm going out to dinner with some girlfriends tonight. I'm wondering what the MFP world would get from this menu. Thanks!

    The Verdure Omelette for me. I now just look for the thing that I want least and eat that. :)

    It's a tricky one as everything looks like it is covered in a sauce. If you wanted to go low calorie I reckon the salmon Caesar salad with sauce on the side would be the lowest cal. Or just order what you like, eat a small portion and do some extra exercise tomorrow. One night out doesn't do too much damage as long as you get straight back on track the next day. Have a great night.

    depends who's paying!! Fetticine shrimp sounds nice. I wouldn't worry too much about the calories, just go and have a great night out

    The ommletes are all on the brunch menu but they might make one for you if you ask nicely.

    ^ This. If its only one night, it won't ruin your progress. You'd be better off just enjoying yourself.

    However, if you insist on ordering something healthy-ish, I would suggest the Grilled Salmon, the Penne Spasso, or any of the salads/antipasta off of the "Antipasti Fredi" menu. Most of this sounds very carb and fat heavy due to the pasta or sauce.

    The grilled salmon sounds great to me, but I'm a bit caper-mad.

    Get what you'd enjoy, log an extra tablespoon of butter or something to account for the sauce, and only eat half the pasta. (take the rest home for tomorrow) Get a salad for starters to keep yourself from overdoing it on the main dish. Alternate your wine with seltzer and lemon. Enjoy!

    Depends, if the pasta is home made I might splurge, otherwise not. I'd get the grilled salmon and a few glasses of wine.

    Thanks for the responses. I'm looking for something less indulgent. This will be my third night out this week so I'm trying not to splurge too much.

    When I go out to eat I usually stick to soup or salad or fruit.

    I agree with this one. It looks super tasty and a decent healthy choice. You won't feel deprived with this option.

    I got super excited, and then realized I was looking at the Easter brunch menu. For dinner, I'd probably do veal saltimbocca, mostly because it's something I've never had. And I'd probably start with the goat cheese salad, and finish with a cannoli. And I'd completely not care about calories just because it looks super tasty.

    Steak and eggs. I'm not a big fan of sauces or cheese (other than cottage cheese) and steak and eggs are two of my favorite foods.
