WW Girls....favorite restaurants???

what restaurants have really good meals that arent high in points?? i want to go out for dinner one day this week and dont know where to go.

Re: WW Girls....favorite restaurants???

I dont really think any restaurants really offer low point dinners...with exception of Ruby Tuesdays who actually have/had a WW menu. (not sure if they still do)

What I do is get things that fit into my dinner point range (whats left for the nite)- a meat Steak or Ckn, some veggies , a starch as sweet potatoe and work in salad with lite dressings.

I sometimes will cheat a little on an appetizer which I tie into my extra points. In moderation.
Its rare since I only will eat out on weekends.

Eating out, there is a lot of hidden calories since you are unsure of how its prepared, ex: oils, butter etc.

I am OK eating anywhere, I either look for a salad or words like "grilled" and "broiled" a lot of menus at least have the calories on them.... so I look at that too.

A trick I use is to point out my dinner that I think I am going to have first and then point my snacks and other meals around it.

When my dinner gets served, I also ask for a to-go container and immediately wrap at least half of it. When I go for Italian I ask for whole wheat pasta, etc.

During the week I rarely use my "extra" points, so that if I can't really get a hold of how many points my dinner out is, I hope it will fall within the 49.

I usually just eat half my meal anyway so that helps!! I'll generally try to get grilled chicken or whole wheat pasta. I try to avoid salads because the dressings and croutons kill me with points!

Applebees has good WW option. I love the Key Lime Shrimp and Rice. It's delicious!!
