[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly what’s the point of paying restaurant prices if you’re just going to eat broiled/grilled fish or chicken, steamed veggies, and undressed salad? I’d just as soon stay home. Or let yourself go whole hog once in a while and eat ALL the things.[/quote]

Because sometimes you are tired and don’t feel like going to the grocery store or cooking, or maybe your friends and family want to go to a restaurant? Tons of reasons to eat out if you’re not a miserable person. [/quote]

I’m not miserable, hon. That’s why I eat whatever the f I want at a restaurant.[/quote]

Np.  Both strategies work.  Sometimes a friend wants to meet for lunch and I want to eat healthy so I order a healthy option.  Other times I want to enjoy whatever looks good regardless of the calories.  But it is nice to have some general knowledge about what foods have a lot of calories and what do not.  I believe that was the purpose of OPs post.

Op - avoiding most creams, sauces, and salad dressings help.  You can get them on the side also, so you can control the amount you eat.  I also tend to avoid anything with mayo or butter if possible, because most restaurants lay both on very thick.  Eating slow, enjoy your food and allowing your stomach to register what you eat helps a lot.  Also, be true to want you truly crave.  If there is something on the menu that you love, allow yourself to order it, and eat only part of it (it helps to visually decide how much you will eat). [/quote]

dp but for those who have changed their diet and therefore their taste buds things I enjoyed in the past I no longer enjoy   We should be demanding that all restaurants give us the information.  I was in NYC and it was very tricky but, managed to lose two pounds!  This despite having to meet friends at the newest fat restaurant ( Black Tap)  I told them I didn't want fries and they insisted that they were going to give it to me!  Luckily my dd ate them![/quote]
