We are going to Olive Garden tonight for dinner. Any suggestions on what to get? Everything seems so high in calories.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I love love love the apricot chicken with asparagus.. Very low cal, filling, and makes me able to splurge on ONE bread stick
400 calories for apricot chicken and 150 calories for a breadstick.. Not to shabby
Add zuppa tuscana for 170 calories since the salad is LOADED with calories. So 720 for a huge meal out.0 -
Pasta marinara
like 430 -ish cals0 -
zuppa tuscana and mixed grill plate!0

My favorite thing is the "Seafood Brodetto". It's 480 calories, and is kind of like a soupy thing with lots of seafood in it, and a piece of toast. It is AWESOME. Tons of food. But the only downside is the sodium.... But really, for just amount of food and calories and flavor, it's incredible.0

this sounds yummy...and if you drink a ton of water, maybe the sodium won't get ya so badly.0 -

One of my good friends is an Olive Garden manager.. she said they will pretty much make whatever you want them to. Salad w/o dressing, chicken cooked in pam, etc. Just have to ask. Hope this helps!0

That soup is so good! Definitely get a bowl of that for a starter! See if you can order the lunch size portion when you go. Just check the link I sent you and take your pick! Make your own pasta with angel hair, marinara, and meatballs seems like a decent choice.0 -
Hubby and I always go every other Friday, I always get the soup and salad. The chili like soup is supper yummy and is only 130 calories a bowl (I eat 2) and we get our salad with no cheese and dressing on the side (so we can control how much goes on) and I eat ONE breadstick very slowly (I take one and ask the waiter to take the rest, since i will be so tempted to eat the basket and hubby cannot eat bread. I ussually come in under 500 calories when I go.....Ohh and I always get water with lemon wedge, no soda!! We both eat on less than 15 bucks and are stuffed when we leave!!0

Thank you everyone! I ordered the Venetian chicken, and it was very good. I was fully after eating only half of the portion and took it home for tomorrow's lunch.0
