I ordered one of the handful of items at Lazy Dog Cafe on the menu that wasn't a gazillion calories. I studied the menu at work before going out with my friends. It was either this dish, or a salad with dressing on the side. I'm going to a work lunch today at California Pizza Kitchen and since I am getting a salad there, I opted for the Bahama Chicken. The menu description: boneless chicken breast, traditional jerk seasonings, island salsa [did not eat], black beans, steamed rice [asked for brown rice], tiki sauce [did not eat/what is tiki sauce?!]. There was hardly any food on my plate compared to my two friends. I also drank 2-3 glasses of water while at dinner, which is A LOT for me. I figured it would help, and it did! We finished dinner around 7:30pm and I didn't feel the need to eat anything after that! :0)

I tend to eat better (i.e. less calories, not quality of food) when I know I am "going out" for a meal. I know there is no way I'm getting out of a restaurant without eating at least 600-700 calories, so I eat less during the day. If I did this on ALL days, maybe I would actually eat closer to 1300 a day! Hmm...
