Low fat and eating out
So my day is planned because I wanted to see how much fat I have (I know it is usually 25-35%). I find the Food Journal tedious. Guess it is like that because I do not use it often, AND I AM OKAY WITH THIS 
Then it gets a little hairy/scary as we are going out for dinner…lol When you are eating low fat, it kinda is scary BECAUSE it is everywhere, lurking, hiding, all disguised…hehe Well I looked at the menu online and this is the plan. (The Keg)
The plan:
House salad with Dijon dressing on the side (plan to use about half or less) - about 150 calories
Grilled Garlic and Herb Tiger Shrimp - ? no clue but the calories will likely come from a little fat (I will see if it is brushed with oil…EITHER WAY… I am enjoying!)
I will eat a smaller portion of the Rice Pilaf (Surely there will be hidden fat, again so be it.) - Likely 100 calories of rice and about 1 T of some kind of fat (OR I can have the baked potato instead and have no butter…time will tell)
Steamed asparagus - less then 50 calories.
THEIR DESSERTS are amazing, but there will be 4 of us! We shall see, but I am in a good place and loving me! (One, maybe 2 bites OR none. If the group orders I do not like, I will just call it fate…lmao
By the looks of it I will be coming in around 1500 calories. A fine day for me for sure…… And pretty low fat especially if the dessert is DISGUSTING. 
Cheers.
Off to do some cardio. I worked my behind off at the gym yesterday….
Oh, and eating low fat is tough. I REALLY have to think about my snacks more carefully. VERY hungry just before supper… like CRAZY hungry, so I had 1 filling point of All Bran Buds and soymilk (cinnamon)… it held me back from devouring something bad before supper
————————————————————————————————————–
What I really had for supper:
Salad and about 1 T. dressing
Garlic/Herb Tiger Shrimp with house sauce (citrus and pleasantly sweet)
Small baked potato with salsa
Small side of Green beans
One small mint and 10 g. of 86% dark chocolate (Everyone was too full for dessert, so I had a little sweetness to finish my day.)
Chamomile tea
25 points today…. not sure how many calories. On WW veggies are not counted and I ate numerous veggies so my calories is a bit higher….If I were to guess I am just under 1500 calories.)
And since I worked out today, elliptical and yoga… twas a very good day *smiles Jenn*
Good plan! I agree, eating out is scary! But I do believe it helps to plan ahead, like you have done, very proud of you!
Jennifer,
I don’t envy you in low fat diet. However, if you plan ahead and control your eating, you will succeed. I so want you to find something that is great for your body and soul and doesn’t require becoming a victim of very strict choices. So far you are doing fabulous.

I love your plan and what I love the most is that you looked at the menu ahead of time, there’s nothing better than being prepared!! You rock. Please let me know if you stuck to your plan!! My hope is that you did, but even if you didn’t, I still love you! LOL!
Ha… I love fat too… YUM. Nuts, olive oil in hummus… Ice cream, but I am just trying something different as I really try to cut the fat on my behind…hehe. I have work to do in this area.
I see the irony… so many of you are trying to add healthy fats or already do eat healthy fats and I agree it is healthy. It is just I have gotten frustrated with a bit of a plateau and then made really BAD food choices, so a change was/is in order. You all are so awesome. Thank you so much.
Way to break through the fat barrier! I love low fat. I do well at 20/40/40 fat/carbs protein ratio. Works for me. I get above that ratio on fat, I can actually “feel” it in my energy level and I feel bloated. LOL
Hugggggggggs,
