Need help for date night

My husband and I go on a dinner date once a month away from the kids...Tonight we're going to Bonefish Grill...I've been doing really good on my diet, but don't want to completely modify everything I eat, I want to enjoy myself...What should I do?? I am planning on working out today to add some calories, but I'm sure that won't be enough to enjoy dinner and wine

Well it depends on what kind of diet you're on. Low carb? Low fat? Good on the working out though. Do some research before going. Do they have a website? Try typing in a favorite dish and finding the nutrition facts.0

I think a one-off splurge is okay. What puts on the weight is continued eating at that level. I say enjoy yourself tonight, and make generally good decisions (white meat or fish over red meat), and you will be just fine! Have fun, you deserve it!0

Hope this helps! HAVE FUN!

Have fun on date night! We're due for one soon too. I would suggest that if you know you're going to splurge, make up the calories the rest of the week: burn an extra 100 and cut back an extra 100 each day to make up for the splurge. It is all about the cumulative effect!0

My sister ate there the other night--she got the bang bang shrimp and a salad. She got full and stayed pretty low on calories. She may have gotten a half salad, I can't recall. But go and enjoy yourself! And a nice Pinot Grigio has about 110 cal per glass....indulge!0

Eat what you want to just use moderation and eat smaller amounts. and certainly exercise like you are planning on doing before hand. And also tomorrow.0

Follow your plan.... ENJOY YOURSELF!0

I LOVE BG! Their tilapia is amazing! And their steamed broccoli is great too! Lots of protein and hardly any calories!0

You could also look them up on-line to see if they have nutrition guide. That way you can make an informed decision before you go. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!!!0

i wouldn't even look at the nutritional guide, 1 meal isn't going to kill your diet and may even be beneficial. so go, enjoy yourself and get back on track the next day0

Look it up before. That helps me. If it's something you want really bad and it's high in cals maybe eat half. Enjoy your night.0

Work out, go out, look up options, eat a real person's portion, enjoy a few extra calories (just don't make it 3000 extra calories), relax, have a glass of wine. It's okay to take a break every once in a while, but only every once in a while. I think the fact that I stopped stressing about what to eat on date night or special occassions helped me along the way. Yeah, I only had 30 pounds to go, but I lost 35 and never had a plateau.0 -
Thank you so much everyone for your amazing advice0
