Hi all, I’m currently eating in a calorie deficit to lose weight. I have some extended family in town and we’re all going out to dinner. We’re going to a local Italian place (I tried to push for the local seafood place because that has healthier options, but no, they had to insist on Italian).
I’m feeling really anxious about this dinner because I’ve eaten at that restaurant before, and while the food is delicious, it’s VERY calorie dense. It seems like everything there is soaked in butter or has a ton of carbs. And, being a small family-owned place, they don’t have calories listed on the menu or on the website.
My daily calorie goal is 1,770. I had a 150 cal breakfast, and I skipped lunch to try to prepare for this, so hopefully since I have 1,620 calories to spend I will be okay. I guess I’m just really stressed about it because I’m recovering from food addiction and binge eating. I have done SO good the past 3 weeks, and I’m really worried that this dinner will put me back in a cycle of bingeing.
Does anybody have any advice for eating low-calorie at a restaurant like this? I have no idea what to order. Also, does anybody have any advice about the psychological aspect? I just feel like I can’t trust myself around food and I’m afraid I will pig out tonight and get off track, so I’m super stressed.
