Yeah, but I have been doing small (real small) meals at night, ie a smoothie (protein shake) and string cheese - for about 200 calories. So this dinner will be about 700 cals - Yikes.Date: 5/15/2007 1:30:09 PM

yeah you can just google Outback and calories and a bunch of sites have the breakdown of some of their menu. i typically do this whenever we go anywhere that's like a 'chain' because a lot of places have their nutritional information online or someone else has posted it.
i vaguely recall from looking around previously that their Victoria's Filet is like 550 cals or something? and you can get steamed veggies no oil or butter which is like 80ish. and a plain dry baked potato, and ask for salsa or something to mix into it if you want. or you can use the veggies to mix into the baked potato. if you want, get some butter on the side and just use a bit. since i am kind of a freak i might even bring my own shredded 2% cheese to mix into the potato...because you can put a bit in a baggie and not look too weird sprinkling it on hehe.
stay away from anything else basically. i THINK their shrimp, (aka side of shrimp) might not be too bad but i think they use oils and butters to cook it. good luck!!
Also, how do you all go about eating small or light and not make other's feel bad. What if the people you are eating with do not practice healthy eating and you are being "picky" about your food, cals, etc.
I always feel this makes other who are not watching what they eat feel badly. Please tell me I am not alone.
