    Get the book Eat this, not that! 2012 to have at work it gives lots of suggestions. If you tell me where u want to eat, I can look up the restaurant for you and give you some suggestions.

    Good standby is McDonald's bacon ranch salad with the grilled chicken. Sub their light balsamic viniagrette for the ranch, and add a yogurt parfait (sans granola packet). You'll eat the whole meal for around 410 calories, its healthy, indulgent b/c of the baconand cheese on the salad, and tasty!

    Forgot mine, too! I'm going to hit Subway today for a Turkey on wheat with a ton of veggies. 280 calories and 4.5 grams of fat.

    i have to wonder...how good for you is their grilled chicken? i honestly don't know so im not being a smart *kitten* :)

    i have this perception that everything that comes out of that place is absolute crap.
    is it breast? or is it injection molded parts? sounds delicious but im wary of anything 'healthy' from that place.
    i could be way off though, so if i am...my bad. :)

    If you have any mongolian BBQs around (Ghengis Khan is a mall food court one), they are pretty dang awesome for lunch! Today I'm going to a local (non-chain) one and I always get the same: thin sliced turkey, jalapenos, bean sprouts, cilantro, celery, tofu, cabbage, carrot, zucchini, broccoli, green bell peppers, some sprinkled seasame seeds and a little soy sauce. I skip all the sweet or sticky sauces that you can put with it and for a HUGE bowl of food, I calculated it at around 300calories.
