When you eat out.... whats your poison?
Most of my eating out is at restaurants and I try to order whatever I don't usually cook at home - so mostly seafood!
Fast food - Boston Market, half of their rotisserie chicken (I get a few pieces and the cats and dog get the rest) or a 3 piece dark meat combo. Every once in a while, Braum's bacon cheeseburger. Or Wendy's chicken/pecan/apple salad. That's about it. Fast food just doesn't appeal the way it use to....and that's a good thing, because I was a fast food junkie!
I tried the Chik FilA nuggets while traveling and loved them! Wish we had that here.
A single KFC mini filet is a perfect serving for me and "costs" only 110 delicious calories. I buy 6, enjoy 1, and my hubby has them in his lunches for a few days.
Mucho Burrito with a sleeved friend - fish taco bowl. Filled us both up and she took the rest home for her supper. On my own I buy either a fish taco or a side of their chicken.
Extreme Pita with the same friend - Chicken Shawarma pita with extra chicken, cut in half to serve the 2 of us. Most of the bread ends up in the garbage.
Swiss Chalet - chicken teriyaki, no rice. Makes 2 meals for me. Side salad with added chicken also works well - same deal.
Most other places I either get soup or a side dish and maybe a nibble or 2 from my hubby's plate. I used to look at the appetisers, but they're generally heavier than I want to eat. Often my best option is to order off-menu.

If I have to run through a drive thru I order a chicken breast only. They often charge much less than a chicken sandwich and since I'm throwing the bun away anyway it's less wasteful. Today I had to work through lunch so my friend brought me a grilled chicken breast from a Mexican food restaurant. It was HUGE! I ate a couple of ounces and weighed the remainder when I got home - 8 oz. They only charged $4 and that will make about 4 meals (that I didn't have to cook!)
