Going out to dinner on diet?

Question

So I’m on a diet but I’m going out to eat with the my family? What should I get I don’t like salad. Should I get chicken and mash potatoes or steak and mash potatoes or cheese burger and mash potatoes. Or should I go with the sea food and mash potatoes I know to stay away from the bread. I thought the mash potatoes would be better than the French fries. Any suggesting on healthy option on what I should get

Answer 1

steak or chicken is a good choice .. they both have a lot of protien . don't get mash potatos ask for a side of veggies .. if they can't do something like that then yeah mashed potatoes would be the better of the too.  

Answer 2

either chicken or salmon are good, maybe get a  side of veg instead of potatoes.  see if it can be substituted

Answer 3

I think you know this already. Eat whatever you want. If you can avoid carbs, great. If you can't, pace yourself. I see no matter what you think of, it has mashed potatoes. Bad sign. Don't make a pig of yourself, If you just can't skip desert, eat 1/3 or 1/2 of it. Don't take any food home. It's  a big mystery how people get fat isn't it?

Answer 4

This is not a professional answer but over years of experience I have come to a couple of conclusions.  From what i understand potatoes are a big no because of the starches. As for the main dish i believe that a salmon or chicken is a good dinner. Just make sure that the main entree is not covered in sauce, even the most healthy salad can be ruined by too much dressing.  As far as diet i don't think that a diet is a good idea.  From what i have herd from experts and Friends is portion control. Instead of eating the entire entree take half of it home.  Eat less but more frequently. Hope this helps.
