Dining out for first time tomorrow

**nomorefatmoma** · March 3rd, 2011, 06:12 PM

I will be having dinner at Famous Dave's for dinner tomorrow. It will be P3 Day 13 for me. Any advice on what to order? I know what not to order and I will be bringing my salad dressing with me, as I know I'm getting an all veggie salad. Any ideas would be great, other than seafood I'm allergic. So nervous going out of my kitchen it is my safe haven.

you could get a burger and not eat the bun....I had the avocado burger at Steak-n-Shake during P3 with no troubles

I have been eating out since day 1 P2 in restaurants with no issues. I just make sure there is lean meat and veggies on the menu and I'm good. Since you are P3, you will have more choices. I just repeat a mantra of:"lean meat, veggies, fruit, lean meat, veggies, fruit" and the ordering is easy. I stick with chicken, fish (no allergy) or even a good steak - but I keep it to 3oz (P2) and bring the rest home for DH's lunch the next day. I always ask for it to be prepared without added fat (remember P2) and no starch on my plate but double veggie instead no butter or sauce (again P2). Never had a problem. Consequently....no feeling of deprivation at all on P2. oh....have fun!

This is such a good question. I also will be away from home (2hrs away) and have to rely on dining out. I'm in P2 and doing excellent. I'm hoping to eat at a Panera Jason's deli type of resturant already been on their websites to scope out the menus and the calories. I really don't want to blow this with a cheat right now. Any other suggestions of places one can find salads etc that would work.
