    Pomster, you have been doing AWESOMELY :) so don't underestimate your efforts! I personally feel that one day out of many is nothing, and that you should go and have a good time and just eat in moderation. I'm no health professional though, so maybe other people can be more helpful :)

    But keep up your good work!

    no need to panic! everything in moderation. sometimes i will get a to-go box right away, and put half in.

    it's funny now that I only eat 1/2 when I go out, that I am actually full :smile: and don't need to eat the whole dang thing like I use to!!

    Good Luck :flowerforyou:

    either have something from the grill (if they have it), a salad or if i were you i would get some kind of chicken with mashed potato, eat half and not bother about logging it in - sometimes working out the calories is too much ))
    and anyways, i find when i go out its not the food that i have to worry about but drinks - look up calories in alcohol drinks you usually would have and then go for a white wine with soda and stretch it for the whole evening ... just saying ))
