Please help me decide what to eat tonight. I'm going to this restaurant: http://www.buonamiciwilliamsburg.com/. I will have about 600 calories left for dinner. I wish I had time to exercise to increase my calories, but I'm taking my daughter to the doctor right after work, then we'll head out to dinner very soon after.

If you have 600 cals, what would you eat?

    Risotto and roasted pork loin.

    I was also going to suggest the pork loin,

    maybe do a soup of the day (depending on what it is) or the field greens salad to start.

    You could also do the ciopinno or the sauteed mussels

    Some of the chicken dishes also sound good, I would probably ask to sub the potatoes for veggies, and ask for their sauces to be on the side. But I am annoying like that sometimes.

    if that were me i wouldve scaled back 100 calories on breakfast and lunch, put in an hour of cardio and then ate a meal without worry..even aside that , just get a meal and enjoy it ..and i dont know if its mental or it works but i always drink a ton of water in a restaurant with lemon in it. i mentally thing its flushing everything out ..and it could very well be but who knows ...

    I must say the menu is kinda challenging! That being said, I would go wth the pork loin also and ask that they don't put any oil on the loin before they cook it. Some restaurants like to add oil or butter on meats for flavor but that would defeat the purpose of making such a smart choice.

    I would have the wild mushroom and spinach salad, skip the pasta course, and have the Piccata di Pollo al Limone as an entree.

    I know I would love to go run for an hour, but I just don't have the time today. I get up at 5 to be at work by 6:30, then I'm leaving here at 3:00 to take my daughter to the doctor. Then I'll be changing clothes and leaving for dinner! We'll be out until probably 8 or so. I supposed I could go run tonight, but I doubt it :(

    I did try to eat lighter for breakfast and lunch, but I don't want to be starving all day because then I'd definitely eat too much!!!
