Just skip the chips, and stick to grilled foods, with only veggie type toppings/sauces. Skip the cream sauces and heavy cheese dishes and you'll be fine.
exactly..
Also ask for NO BUTTER. They cook everything in oil... then finish it with butter.
Water... water.. eat some thing in the car on the way. Apple and water, to hold you over while everyone is eating chips.0 -

Hahaha I totally wish I could do this! My life story revolves around wishing alcohol didn't have as many calories as it did.0 -
If they have Tacos al Carbon, do that. They are usually small soft corn tortillas with either grilled chicken or pork, chopped onions and fresh cilantro. Order with a side of pico de gallo and avocado slices (rather than guacamole), and you are right in the 350-400 calorie range. If you must have chips and salsa, break each chip in 3-5 pieces, dip in the salsa and eat slowly. Do try to limit them though, not only for the calories, but for the sodium. Drink plenty of water too!0

My anniversary is "Cinco de Mayo" so, for lunch, we went to a Mexican place we hadn't tried before. I have no idea how restricted your caloric intake is, but with my 1550 cal/day and 150-200 calories burned during exercise, I feel 500-600 calories per meal is acceptable. I had a enchilada combination plate (1 beef enchilada with no cheese, 1/2 cup rice, 1/2 cup refried beans) for about 600 calories. I also had 10-15 chips and salsa, for another 150 calories. Calorie intake over time is what sheds the pounds. You have already said you normally eat lunch you bring from home and I'm going to assume you do that so you can control your portions and caloric intake. Enjoy time with your friends as well.0

Lay off on the chips and sub in corn tortillas for flour ones. I prefer the taste and you get 2 for 40 less calories than the flour, and they are gluten free so less bloatyness afterwards. I get a dish at my local restaurant that has flank steak (lean), cheese, 2 corn tortillas, and a side of lettuce, tomato, a little sour cream and guac. I feel like it's pretty healthy and balanced.0
