For some background, I'm 15, 5'6, currently around 250 lbs, started at 275. Eat about 1700 a day, burn anywhwre from 2300-3000 depending on if i have time to work out. I've gotten a bit stuck with my weight loss.
My parents are split up, and I mostly live with my mom. She's overweight as well, but we're working together to be healthier. We cook most of our own meals, eat lots of veggies, ship locally, measure our food, etc. We also go to the gym together. Because of habits like this, we're pretty healthy.
However, I go to my dad's 3 days a week and he's not as healthy. Granted, he can eat whatever he wants since he does physical work and burns at least 3000 calories a day, and has a high metabolism. But regardless, he likes takeout and burgers and sweets, and he takes us out for meals like this often. I try to get smaller portions, but not every restaurant has good options. This leads to me having big 900 cal meals at least a few times a month.
I'm wondering if this is what's making it harder to actively lose weight. What can I do to work around this? Should I just order a salad every time we go out?
