So I have gone to Ruby Tuesday twice now since my surgery on April 5th. Even when I order from the Fit & Trim menu and stay well within my calorie goal for the day I have gone up a pound or more and it takes 3 days to get it off again. I don't get it! Maybe it's the salt content??? It's so not worth going out to eat. I definitely prefer to cook at home and know exactly what I am eating. Has anyone else had this same issue?

Restaurant food is high in sodium so you're just retaining water.

I agree with tmf; Water weight.

Are you getting all of your water in? That will help to flush out the water retention.

You could stay home to eat, or you could eat out and STAY OFF THE scale.LOL

I eat out all the time, but I don't let the scale get me down.

I hardly ever eat out. It's just not worth the extra junk and calories to me, no matter how healthy I try to choose from the menu. But I'm a shrimpo with a slow metabolism, so I have to really watch the calories. I don't think I'd have been as successful if I'd been eating out or eating any kind of normal food (just smaller quantities).
