your just going to either have to flexi syn it or if you really plan on being good a tomatoe based pasta (green) or chicken/steak dish would be fine. i have been getting ben and jerry's sorbet at the cinema as sorbet is quite low in syns and doesnt feel like your missing out, otherwise take fruit. i know asda have some ready made toffee popcorn which is low syn too if you have to have popcorn at the cinema

Have you looked at their menus online?

On a red (or EE) day I usually have a salad - either caesar (dressing on the side) or club, and there's a new one that sounds lovely with chicken and red onion and a soy dressing.

Steak is an option, with a jacket potato. Avoid the onion rings!

Or on green choose a pasta dish with a tomato-based sauce, but allow a couple of syns for unknown quantities of oil. The arribiata is a good choice, with about 2 syns for olives.

It can be done, and you enjoy yourself

Good ideas.

Most of my excess weight comes from eating out & drinking, like a few people on here I imagine. I also like to eat out whilst trying to stick to plan and was wondering if it would it be possible to have a section (like the syns & recipe section) whereby we could post ideas or ask questions about certain restaurant chains or types of cusine?

thanks

hey hun, Went there last week and made terrible mistake!

Avoid the pesto chicken pasta, ... id order steak with new/baked potatoe. and avoid all deserts... and stick with diet pepsi!! and if u ahve a started the loaded potatoe skins were the least greasy out of all..
