So I learned a valuable lesson this evening. My favorite salad at Chili's is eeeevil! I knew it was not the healthiest thing in the world but I had no idea it was quite that bad :(
I still netted a loss of calories but it would have been so much better had I not eaten it :(

It really has been an eyeopener for me to be writing things down as well...I know that when I go out with the hubby I have to be extremely careful...Yikes...some of these restaurants are just putting up their nutritional information...I just about died reading what I was putting into my body. I know that at noodles and company I can no longer have their awesome mac and cheese. Ick~ I don't even want to KNOW! I try to now stay away from places that I know are going to tempt me...or at least now I know to only eat a small amount and fill up with veggies. Good luck!!

The lettuce wraps are pretty good calorie wise if you watch the sauces. They are my favorite and similar to salad. Lord, now I want some, lol!

It's amazing how the modern food industry can take something has harmless as vegetables and turn them into something deadly! It's for this reason that I am really starting to get into the slow foods movement--I don't like the fact that the big chains are poisoning us, I mean how many people actually read the nutrition info that's posted? I never did!

Glad you see it as a lesson learned and aren't beating yourself up about it! I hardly ever eat out any more, because of all the fat, sodium, etc. hiding in restaurant foods.
