How to diet and still go out to eat: How to diet and still go out to eat:
 		Save Tip

-You choose the restaurant. Select a place whose menu offers healthy options; call ahead to preview the menu.
-Have a default order. Develop a mental list of fallback meals you can count on no matter what the menu. Just about any restaurant kitchen can cook up baked chicken or broiled fish with vegetables.
-Decide what’s most important. Stick to one “extra” item: enjoy an appetizer OR dessert OR a glass of wine, not all three.
-Plan your calories accordingly. Eat lightly at lunch before an evening meal out, or “bank” some extra calories earlier in the week.
-Don’t arrive famished or you’ll succumb to the bread basket. Have a light protein-rich snack to take the edge off your hunger—say, a few almonds, or a piece of string cheese--just before leaving for the restaurant.

jillybean “ Haha I can see the temptation in that. Don't worry your probably burning more calories than most by taking care of and chasing the kids too. ”
