Favorite places to dine out and stay on program?

[ead79]

What are your favorite places to dine out where you can stay on program? I LOVE Cracker Barrel, so I looked it up on Dotti's Weight Loss Zone (www.dottisweightlosszone.com), and I discovered that a vegetable plate is a great low-point meal. Here's what I usually get:

mashed potatoes with NO gravy--4 points
macaroni and cheese--3 points
green beans--0 points
applesauce--1 point

All that for only 8 points. If you do have some extra points, 1 biscuit is 5 points.

FUN THREAD!


Ok........my favorite hobby is eating out! I was brought up eating out, and DH was brought up (7 brothers & sisters) eating at home.


Applebees -
Lowfat Chicken Quesadilla - 15.5
Lowfat blackened Tillapia with Mango Salsa - 9 points
Altered Oriental Chicken salad - Full size- grilled (not fried) chicken, no dressing or dressing on the side, almonds & crunchies on the side- chicken 4.5pts, almonds -2 to 4 points depending on how many I put on, 1.5 crunchies (I use a small amount) If you fork dip the dressing, you would only use a little (maybe 2 points)

They also have turkey burgers, rice, steamed veggies, salmon, veggie burger and so many other things that you could alter to make your own healthy meal.

Red Lobster-
Seafood is so low in points, and even if I add in 4 fried shrimp (1 points each) I can eat here. I usually get the ultimate feast.

Cracker Barrel-
2 pieces blackened catfish - 8pts, fried okra- 3pts, green beans - 0, pinto beans - 1

Olive Garden-
I get the Chicken Giardino Dinner portion for 10. I have one breadstick (3) , one Andes mint (1pt) and I have a bowl of the Zuppa Tuscano that I count for 3 points. Total of 17 points. I just eat light the rest of the day. Kashi breakfast and watch my lunch.

For this Atkins Believer...Outback Steakhouse is a little slice of HEAVEN!

I read in the paper a few weeks ago that WW and Applebee's were working together to come up with new menu items that would be listed on the menu with their point values.

That said, I like Applebee's, Chili's and Cracker Barrel. I also go to Sonny's (BBQ), Chinese, and Ruby Tuesday's. All of these offer non fried entrees.

YangYang, where do you live in Marietta? As you can see from my tag, that's where I'm from too. Small world!

I absolutely love Red Lobster! It is my favorite place to eat and I am so glad it is Atkins friendly or I would have a hard time staying on this plan!

I also love Outback Steakhouse! Another yummy place to eat!

Hi! I actually live in Cherokee County but work in Kennesaw/Acworth area. The US Postal Dept has determined that my address is Acworth even though that's in one county and I live in another!
I go to WW at Town Center.
