Ordering Out
I'm on a diet. For dinner, were going to a steak house type place. Either Applebees, TGI Friday's, etc. Something to that sort. I have no idea what to order. I looked at their Weight Watchers/Low Fat menu & nothing seemed appetizing. I'm a very picky person & not into onions/mushrooms or anything of that sort. I like my food plain, like chicken & salad or something. I heard ordering salad out at those restaurants are actually high in fat because of the dressing & what not. What would you suggest me ordering? Thanks!

I would go for a salad for sure. Ask for the dressing on the side or ask not to have bacon or cheese sprinkled on it. Ceasar wouldnt be a good choice because all creamy dressings are high in fat. The best are oils/vinegars. They might even have low-fat or fat-free dressings too. Just ask.

I loved Applebee's Sante Fe Chicken Salad. Yes, usually the addings & dressing to some salads can be fattening. But you can have them put everything on the side so you are only eating the minimum amount. Honestly, I think any type of salad is good to order as long as you are in control of what you add on to the basic lettuce & veggies. I wouldn't be too worried if you're not eating something already DRENCHED in cheese, bacon bits & dressing.

To answer the additional comment, Caeser salad dressing is very unhealthy, regardless of popular opinion.

You can get a salad just how you like, they are usually very flexible. This means that you can order the dressing on the side, that way you can add as much or as little as you would like. Yes, the dressing is probably the worst part of a salad, so having too much is a bad thing.. but a little bit won't be too bad.. and it can easily be worked off. Any diet does go hand-in-hand with exercise!
Enjoy your dinner!
