    I always do this: Eat something small, Workout. Then By the time dinner comes eat a vegetarian burrito. I've read a study saying your body will burn calories from your initial workout throughout the day. Now I say stay away from the cheese because there is no telling how much salt there is.

    At a Mexican restaurant, they're likely to be liberally salting all the components of a vegetarian burrito (beans, rice, vegetables, etc). Avoiding the cheese for sodium purposes seems like shutting the barn door after the horse has left.

    One night out for some delicious food here and there isn't going to be particularly relevant to the bigger picture.

    While this is true, I don't want people to misconstrue the significance of that statement. "here and there" and "bigger picture" is a relative term. Depending on the deficit you're able to maintain and how many calories there are in your "delicious food", some people might be able to enjoy a free meal like that once a week, while others might have to limit it to once a month.

    Ceviche is typically a good bet, since it tends to be fish or shrimp with an acid based dressing. Our local place does a ceviche salad that is amazing and skips a lot of the higher calorie adds (sour cream) with a lot of flavor and a full plate. My biggest challenge is avoiding the bowl of chips and salsa.

    I wonder if you got the chicken fajitas, if they could give you extra peppers and onions instead of the taco shell.
    Enjoy!
