Dining Out

We go out to eat most weekends. I have seen many people ask what can I eat dining out, so here is what I usually choose from, chopped steak, baked or broiled fish, grilled or baked chicken, most seafood, baked potato, and veggies, Now I can never eat a whole meal, but I just save the rest for later or for miss puggy my doggie. She loves leftovers lol. Some people can eat salad, I can eat a little bit but not much lettuce based salads. I can do better with salad that has no lettuce. I skip the bread unless it is a really crusty bread then I will eat a little bit of the crust just for a taste. I have no problem with mexican food except for flour tortillas. I prefer corn tortillas anyway. Usually I order the smallest meal they have like a taco and beans or a tostada and beans. Occasionally I order enchiladas but no beans or rice with that. At home we eat fish, chicken, ground bison, venison, shrimp, crab, occasionally potato, lots of beans, salad, but not lettuce based. There is food out there we can eat!!

Okay I'm glad I'm not the only one who eats salads without lettuce! I get the strangest looks, but my excuse is "lettuce is just a filler" lol

I went out last night for dinner for my daughters birthday and she wanted to go to a japanese restraunt and I was paniced on how and what I was going to eat. This is a restraunt they cook in front of you with other people too. So they just keep bringing the food coming. It is 5 courses. I ordered chicken broth and an appetizer I ate 1 scallop and the broth was filling. Before I would have eaten everything in the 5 courses. I split the scallop appetizer with my kids. It looked like I ordered more food then I did. I din't want to start out or offend the host as they repeated come by and ask how you like the food at each course. I made it through it! yeah!

Joyce, we are the same except i choose soup a lot. and I too can't eat Lettuce.... but i can eat the mixed greens... crazy. Japanese... i eat the snow crab salad...omg.

Another thing i do is i pack away 3/4 of my meal before i take the first bite. This way i won't be tempted to eat too much. I then give the leftovers to my son or my husband.... I don't do well with left overs.
