Well if Italian then tomato based sauces & pasta, if you fancy a pizza get a small one and thinnest crust available. Not sure about weatherspoons but a lot of restaurants put calories down or have a healthy section which includes calories or meals which are less than 600 or similar.

If you look at NHS living well 12 week weight loss plan look at weeks 5, 7 & 8- focuses on eating out, alcohol and vegetables. Also you could eat less calories than usual for the other meals you have in the day so you can have a bit more when you go out.

Have a good time and have today as a treat day- if you are over your calories then so be it but refocus tomorrow- just don't be tempted to eat less tomorrow to compensate for today.

Good morning kbed 😊

If I'm eating out I have my usual breakfast, calorie count my meal out, and have a very light evening meal (soup/salad/fruit)

Many high street restaurants have the calorie count on their menus or online. 😊

The most important thing is have a good time!! 😊
