So, I have a lunch date with an old friend. She picked the resturant and I didn't want to be a pain about it, plus its cheap and convienient for us both, so I know she put a lot of thought into it. But I don't know what to order to keep the cals down? Any suggestions?

    Do they offer taco salad? My hubby likes to eat out so I usually order a taco salad, no cheese, substitute the beef for their vegetarian black beans (I'm vegatarian) and give the kids the shell. Though I'm a huge carb hound and have difficulty with the free chips & salsa. :)

    One chicken taco with no cheese is around 200 cals.

    avoid the taco shells (equivalent to bread, all starch) and the ground beef, which is mostly fat. I would ask for chicken fajitas and eat the onions, peppers, chicken and beans with a fork (instead of using the tortillas and filling it up with rice and cheese!!) Guacamole is OK. Stay away from the sour cream too.:smile:
