In general, I tend to avoid eating white stuff when I go out to eat and I try to order a healthy veggie (or two). I don’t worry so much about fat (though I avoid anything really obscene :). I find that as long as I’m keeping the refined carbs (including sugar…I rarely do dessert) to a minimum, I can eat out occasionally and not have it derail my progress.

Now, as you may be able to tell from my posts, this all goes to hell when I’m away from home (vacations or work travel). But my theory is that a week here or there isn’t a problem, unless I’m unable to get back on track (kinda like now).

With a vacation scheduled in about a week, I need to find a little bit more healthy eating for balance!

I was reading over some of your recent posts and I was wondering how often you go out to eat and how you handle it? Do you always order the “healthy” choice on the menu? Do you order whatever you want and eat only part of it? I make healthy choices at home and in the food I take for lunch at work, but in restaurants I can’t usually face the rubbery chicken breast that serves as the only healthy choice on the menu.
