where do you like to go for lunch dinner and what are some of the best choices you've found? subway is one of my favorites. you can get a lot of variety and very few calories? what do the rest of you get when you go out to restaurants?

    I'm a big fan of Panera! or Ruby Tuesday's has a huge salad bar and some great "skinny" options to choose from

    A lot of menus have a "lighter" option nowadays...I always make my own kind of meal out of the menu items haha

    Also, to be prepared about the nutrition, look online at the nutritional menu for the restaurant you are going to eat at.

    Chili's has a nutritional value menu on the internet and in their restaurant if you ask for it. I also like Subway, Taco Bell has a fresco menu that is lighter than the other items on their menu, Sonic has a grilled chicken wrap and I get that without sauce, Chick-Fil-A has a grilled chicken sandwich and I get that without sauce. I stay away from Cheddar's and Cracker Barrel because I can't find their nutritional value anywhere. Here's a website where you can look up the calories and Points Plus for WW by clicking on the first letter of the restaurant:

    I like a steak house or a "pub lunch" so I can have fish or chicken, or a salad, and heaps of veg. Try to steer clear of Indian and chinese - dangerous! :)

    I like Chili's cause they will print you out their cal chart. Plus they have some really good food for low cal, like the cedar plank fish! hhhhhmmmmm. I think I am going to chili's for lunch today. lol

    oh yeah and jason's deli! but you gotta look up on internet before hand so you don't get the wrong thing. great salad bar too.

    I love Einstein Brothers Bagels, and Panera, and Whole Foods (their pre-cooked chicken breast and produce section are a life savior when I'm in a hurry).
