I am going out with a friend to mexican restaurant tomorrow night. I hate beer and I can drink mixed drinks...but just arent that great with dinner! I Love margaritas....and can drink my fair share of them lol. However, I know they can completely damage my calorie goals for the day. Any advice for me?

    Work out hard, eat a salad instead of the chips, eat something healthy for your entree, and enjoy yourself!

    Ask them to make a "skinny" margarita. All the calories are from the sour mix. They can make a margarita without the sour mix


    Make a Skinny Girl on the rocks by adding ice to a rocks glass, add 2 oz. (a two-count) of white tequila, the juice of four lime wedges and a splash of Triple Sec, Grand Marnier or Cointreau

    That would be about 160 calories a drink. When the rest. makes it they are anywhere from 500-900 calories a piece. Or you can always go for sangria. Also lower in calories but tastes good

    I drink Firefly or another brand of sweet tea vodka. It has 66 calories per ounce. I just sip it on the rocks, but you can add water and a slice of lemon, or ask the bartender to put it in lemon water then add artificial sweetner. Have fun!
