weight loss and dining out

Last night I wandered into a restaurant near where I am staying in Florida and the place was interesting in that they change the menus seasonally and EVERY entree is 450 calories or less. Steak, pork seafood dishes, salads etc...all less than 500 calories. The dessert tray was brought over with all these great looking desserts but they were in really small portions...all desserts under 300 calories. No bread was brought to the table.

Sure, if alcohol was consummed, a dessert bought etc, the meal would have been not greatly conducive to a weight loss effort. BUT..think of other restaurants where they bring that hot bread to the table...portions are huge...desserts are very large...: much more chance of derailing your weight loss efforts.

When dining out, seek out choices that will be compatible with your plans to be healthier and happier.
