I already blew up yesterday (sushi buffett) :mad: so today is on the Border mexican resturant with the girls...I am looking at the menu and calories and holy crap! The salads have like 1000 calories w/out dressing. :noway: Even splitting some of the meals will still keep me in the 500-600 range (and that is no chips...)

Do you think its the cheese in the salads?

    Don't know about the menu, but a suggestion about the chips...bring your own...buy some baked ones, count out a serving or two, and bring them in a baggie to the restaurant! That way you won't eat way too much! Good luck...eating out is tough!:smile:

    It's hard to find Mexican that is nutritious or lower cal. Get tacos or bean burritos and ask for the cheese on the side so you can add just a little. Get the taco salad out of the bowl with chicken istead of beef and that will save you a bunch.

    If you get one of the salads, leave off the cheese and avacado. Use salsa instead of salad dressing. That's about the best you can do!
