As far as salads go, it's usually the dressing that puts you over the top. When ordering a salad, skip the bacon bits, cheese and croutons and ask for grilled chicken on it. It fills you up and is good for you. We eat at Outback a lot and they grill their chicken. They also have salmon. And, on our baked potato we has au jaus (spelled wrong) instead of butter. When I followed WW religiously, I would have a restaurant salad and bring my own lite dressing. Same with syrup...if I wanted to have a small pancake at a restaurant as a treat I would bring my own lite syrup. I politely told the server I was on WW and needed low fat and they didn't mind. If you cut back a little here and there it makes a difference. I hope TV has an Outback!
