What's your favorite healthy thing to get from a restaurant?

McDonalds grilled chicken caesar salad and yogurt parfait.

I like the Wendy's Chicken caesar salad with grilled chicken and the red spicy dressing. It is a creamy dressing but I take most of the cheese out of the salad and use the dressing because it's so good, I think it's 140 calories for the little bag.

I don't really have a favorite thing from a restaurant, however I do have a favorite health bar I always find from little convenient stores and snack bars. Its the Odwalla bar. So delicious! Only 210 cals and filling for a snack.

California Pizza Kitchen has a new quinoa salad with pinenuts sun dried tomatoes and other goodies. They also have a small plate starter thats the asparagus arugula salad and the fresh chunk parmesan is amazing on that. Their artichoke broccoli soup is only 100 cal for a cup. Also their tortilla soup is not as good (273/cup and higher fat b/c of cheese) but it is vegetarian - which is a nice rarity for tortilla soup.

Claim Jumpers has a side called a thai peanut coslaw. Their california salad is great too.

PF Changs (despite high sodium) has vegetarian lettuce wraps, and their asparagus side is AMAZING. Also you can get buddahs feast steamed for like 110 calories for the MEAL and you get protein b/c of the tofu. It's really good.

Nello's (In Phoenix not national) has this meditteranean salad that has chick peas, sun dried tomato, feta, and all sorts of goodies but this awesome pasta sauce dressing for it.

Abuelo's has a spinach enchilada that isn't that bad, and their steamed veggie side is exceptionally good. If I need more calories I'll get one spinach enchilada and one avocado but make sure to ask for red sauce not cream, with a side of steamed veggies.

McCormick & Schmidt has an arugula beet and pinenut salad that is very similar to CPK's dressing on their asparagus arulula salad, but the flavors with beets are creative. Their bread is nasty and sopped in butter, so the plus side is it is not tempting.

Panera's asian sesame salad (no chicken I'm a veggie) or their vegetable soup b/c of the pesto on top.

WildFlower (like panera's but a little nicer) has a fig sweet potato sandwich (not as healthy) I adore.

Corner Bakery (only saw in CA) has a really good grape strawberry fruit on greens salad, and a pablano sandwhich you can remove the cheese.

Pita Jungle makes amazing grilled veggies, and their falafel isn't bad. Haven't had a chance to try their grape leaves their always out, and their size on the side of hummos is pathetic. Most mediterranean places I know I am safe to find something.

Pei Wei - tons of options there (all high sodium of course). Edamame yummy. Or ginger broccoli tofu and eat half the side of brown rice. Or teryiaki tofu with veggies and eat half the brown rice.

IHop I get a light and fit spinach omlette and sub mushrooms another veggie, I have it made with egg whites not substitute.

USEgg zomg their protein pancakes will make you cry. However, I get a 1/2 and 1/2 - smaller protein pancakes and a skillet with veggies and egg whites. They don't have these in Portland so I miss them greatly.

At some non chain restaurants I've had some great healthy things like butternut squash enchiladas (practically no cheese), or veggie filled pablano peppers with a sweet potato pure and a small drizzle of cojita. (place in Scottsdale and place in Sedona respectively)

The place in Sedona sells a cook book, I'd get it as a gift for anyone - it's Elote's.

(realizing I eat out a ton more than most of you I thought I'd make a list...maybe it's helpful)

Chipotle:

Double chicken burrito bol, white rice, black beans, lettuce, cheese, hot salsa, tomatoes.

Delicious and easy to FYM.

Grilled mahi.

I love grilled shrimp and a majority of restaurants sell it
