determinedtolose said: "Most often, I pack my own for lunch. Mabey once a week I will get the Mc D. grilled bacon salad with low fat dsg. I try to keep menues planned so I buy just what is needed."

jabbathegut said: "I love to eat out. We probably go out to eat about 2-3 times a week. I normally pick salads or chicken sandwiches. I stay away from beef and substitute vegetables for sides. I always drink unsweetened iced tea with 2 equals."

[color=teal]I choose a full packed burger with extra lettuce, tomatoe, cheese and I do not eat the french fries, I save em for the seagulls and I grab a bran muffin for desert.

ian said: "I'm trying to save money by cutting down on the number of times I eat out in a week, but I'm afraid I just can't resist Subway. Turkey/Bacon wrap with american cheese, heated A GOOD serving of lettuce Small slices of tomato Green peppers Parmesan cheese Small amount of chipotle sauce [B]I always get it with a cup of cold water. No Coke. No cookies.[/B] YES! :D Anyway, I used to go out to a chinese buffet right after I worked out, since they had one dish that was JUST shrimp in a light sauce. I had that with tons of vegetables, no rice, and a few pieces of sushi. Note that this plan only worked because I ran alot. Lol. I was also trying to eat alot of protein (shrimp) so I wouldn't eat my muscle tissue away. By the way, I just rambled on. hehe Have a good night everyone!"

child_of_magik said: "I only eat out once every two or three months. Becuase I dont go out that often I do let myself eat whatever, however my drink of choice is diet coke. Kayla"

Henrietta said: "I eat out at least 5 times a week. I've gotten pretty good about just telling the server to remove certain parts of the order. I make a few substitutions, and it works out really well."

Heather said: "3 or 4 times a week sounds about right. I tend towards salads or grilled chicken in most cases. Right now Fridays has a pretty nice little Atkins menu that is friendly with my eating plan. If we go somewhere else I 86 about half of the entree or substitute it."

Heather said: "We haven't been eating out that much at all. If we do, it's a cheese pizza or a burrito from Chipotles.. It's a lot easier to watch what you eat if you're the one cooking it!"

spunkymonkey said: "do you eat out in a week's time? at least 4+ (i work at a resturant) Do you try to make healthy choices from the menu? um heathier, i dont usually get fried stuff but i dont know if stuff like waffles,bagals or chicken salad is that healthy. but when i really go out to eat yes i do. Do you subsitute healthy choices for the not so healthy ones that come with the meals? i get the low fat chicken salad so i guess that would count. some times when i really go out to eat i do but sometimes i do treat myself to fries What do you typically order to drink when you are dining out? water ice tea lemonaid __________________"

Darren said: "I've cut way back on eating out, but I still average at least 3 times a weak. I just modify the menu items. "Please, no garlic bread". Substitute salad for fries, etc. You have to be dilligent, especially if you aren't preparing your own food."

Do you subsitute healthy choices for the not so healthy ones that come with the meals? What do you typically order to drink when you are dining out?[/QUOTE] I eat out about 4 to 5 times a week. This is because of my children's busy schedule...not to mention my own with working out and work. We are often not even home until well after 8pm. I do substitute...and when I get horrible looks from the waiters....I just tell them I'm allergic. ;) Works every time. I usually drink iced tea or water. Sometimes I will have a Diet Coke if I've had a stressful day."

Leah20 said: "We keep it under $100/month. Sometimes we will do 2 nice meals at The Keg or Red Lobster, or other times go out like once a week to pubs and stuff. It's interesting to see everyone's eating out habits."

spectrachic311 said: "My fiance and I eat out about 3 times a week. Usually I get a salad and I ask the chef to hold the cheese and i get reduced calorie dressing on the side. I make sure i order a salad that includes lean protein like grilled chicken or fish or else i get hungry later :D. Sometimes we get chinese food, in which case i order steamed veggies and chicken and rice. I usually only eat half the rice though and save the rest for later. oh, and i never eat the bread they give you because for whatever reason, it does absolutely nothing for my hunger and it usually is something with lots of calories like breadsticks"

iowamomma2002 said: "I try not to go out to eat but when i do i order healthier like chicken breast and usually only eat half. i do not do hamburger and fries to tempting..."

Holly said: "We eat out about once every two weeks. I usually just try to eat a sensible meal. I'm getting a little bit better about taking food home with me. I'm still trying to cancel my membership to the "clean plate club". ;) I typically order coffee. I just enjoy sipping coffee while we're waiting and talking. Once in a while, I'll order an alcoholic beverage, but it's SO much cheaper to endulge in that at home. Good question! :)"

Sassysurfnic said: "do you eat out in a week's time? only about once Do you try to make healthy choices from the menu? I try really hard but sometimes I am tempted, so I usually go 1/2 ways and get a chicken sandwich of some sort Do you subsitute healthy choices for the not so healthy ones that come with the meals? Not really, if veggies are an option I go for them. What do you typically order to drink when you are dining out? I only drink ice water with lemon. When I was groing up, very rarely did we have soda in the house. I have always drank water and I still pretty much do. **Left out an important fact- Fridays are pizza night and then I only go out about once, usually saturday."

GreenEyes said: "My family maybe eats out every two weeks or so. We are a big fan of take-n-bake pizza, they have thin crust pizzas and salads. When we go to a hamburger fastfood place, I always get a salad with a burger and drink water. I don't even like the fastfood burgers, they dont taste good to me. I have noticed that many fastfood places have started putting a lot more healthier things on their menu, so that is good. We never get our kids the meals, hamburger/fries/soda. We tell them to pick two things from the value menu(usually these are smaller than the full priced items) and we have them drink water. They used to throw a fit over not getting those little toys in the meals but oh well. Rachel"

ExManiac said: ".....do you eat out in a week's time? 2-3 times a week. I love eating out. Um, when I went out to eat the other night, I ordered a grilled chicken salad, and used half of my french dressing. Not too bad. Today, however... who knew a Reuben sandwich had 900 calories in it? :( It's my favorite sandwich. I also try to get something like soup and half a sandwich. Also, Subway's six sandwiches are always a safe choice! Do you try to make healthy choices from the menu? Yes, yes, and yes! See above. Again, who knew... reuben...? :( Do you subsitute healthy choices for the not so healthy ones that come with the meals? Not really. But I try not to get the meals that come with fries... if I don't get fries, I feel like I'm wasting my money or something! What do you typically order to drink when you are dining out? Coffee, tea, or diet coke/pepsi. I can't afford to drink anything with calories in it. >> oh, one more thing, if I really want dessert, I get something light and split a desert with my sister. Saves us both some calories and money!"

buffedstuff said: "I only eat out if I am on vacation. so normally O times a week only homemade for this machine"

shy_doll said: "We usually eat out maybe once a week, sometimes its every other week so I enjoy it to the fullest. No substitutes, no diet sodas (I can't stand diet soda) except for rootbeer or orange sodas. But I don't go overboard either, most of the time I still have 1/4--1/2 of my meal left and I don't take it home for later cravings."

Kat_the_Amazon said: "I usually eat out about 1-3 times a month. Last time i went out to eat was last wed. i believe- went to La Carretta's. Got Chicken Fajita's and a cup of tortilla soup w/ avocados. Very yummy. Since i've been on this lifestyle change, i have been making more health conscious choices. And i do try to pick out healthy items. Since i don't eat out very often, i'm really not tempted and when i do eat out, i remind myself of my weight loss and i don't want to ruin that!"
