It doesn't mean you can never do that, but if it is a regular occurance it could make moderating and tracking calories pretty challenging. The truth is that regularly dining out at restaurants where you and your family order a bunch of things to eat family style may not lend itself as the best lifestlye for successful weight loss. That means keeping your portions moderate and trying to pick foods that by the descriptions seem lower calories: trying to stear clear of breaded, fried, creamy, etc. You can only try to use common sense to make good choices, because ultimately your body counts the calories for you even if you can't log them. On days you eat at those type of restaurants, it is not really going to be possible to have any sort of accurate log. Does anyone have any tips on how they deal with hole-in-the-wall restaurants and unfamiliar foods they don’t know that calories for? I usually try to find something on MFP that semi-resembles whatever we’ve eaten, but it’s really a wild stab in the dark. We like Polish, Swiss, Greek, Peruvian, Cuban, etc. Any time we hear of a highly rated Indian buffet, we try it out too. We have an Afghan restaurant just up the road from us that we love, and the Korean Market in our area has an excellent restaurant inside. Trouble is, I have no idea what ingredients were in most of the foods so I couldn’t even begin to estimate calories. We ordered a bunch of stuff to eat family style.
WHATS A FOODIE MOVIE
Yesterday we went to see a movie and tried a well rated Russian place nearby. I don’t know that I could legitimately call myself a foodie (and so I don’t), but my family loves to try new foods and restaurants.
