Eating at TGI Fridays need help.

They have something at most tgi fridays that is called the right portion right price menu. It has a few options that are low calorie just look for the indicator next to the menu items. But if you must pre plan then definitley check out the website for the nutritional information. But my best advice is to enjoy your meal out. Everyone needs a break from time to time. And this is a lifestyle not a diet for most. And life definitley has room for dessert or a drink or a meal that might be less than perfect. Because life and people are not perfect! So enjoy and remember you have the tools at your finger tips to do any damage control necessary! If you eat too many calories, work out a little harder or workout harder before you go so that you can earn the calories which ever makes you the most comfortable in the situation! I will def say stick to water during your meal because one thing you will find on TGIFS nutritional info is theri food is a sodium circus!!! But again ENJOY IT! :flowerforyou:

i usually get picky with restaurants. i'll order my favorite salad, tell them no croutons, no cheese, have the chicken cooked in no oil/butter and serve dressing on the side. i can honestly say, they've gotten it right 9 times out of 10. good luck! and like others have said... a little splurge is okay, just dont go for the gusto in one meal.

I usually stick to sirloins at restaurants or grilled chicken. Friday's has a 6 oz sirloin that is 370 calories. Also, they have chicken skewers on the kids menu and the one here lets adults order off of it. The skewers are 310 calories. Both meals come with 2 sides. So, usually I get a salad with just vinegar, no oil, or a low fat balsalmic . And for the other side brocolli, which is 50 calories, or a fruit cup, which is 60 calories. Oh and the dragonfire chicken or salmon, which I think someone already recommended to you. I don't like fish so I get the chicken and it comes with a grilled chicken breast over jasmine rice with mandarin oranges and steamed brocolli. It is 670 calories. Hope you find something you like!!!

Choose something on the menu that is not loaded with sauce/cheese/fried, etc. Then, just eat slowly, enjoying the conversation around the table, drink water between forkfuls of food, and eat a little bit of everything on your plate until your body is satisfied......and take home the rest or leave it. And, don't forget to log your meal.

Even if you "went over" for the meal, you can still salvage the day and/or the week. Don't obsess about eating out. Continue to exercise and eat smart at other meals.....in the long run, you will be fine.

Now that I've been eating more "healthy," I don't desire the "bad" foods as much and can have a little bit of something "bad" now and then and still stay on plan.
