Hi Golden Girl. Good luck eating out. I try to avoid it. The only thing that saves me is salads. At the mall food court, we have a pizza place that makes a really good caesar salad. (But sometimes I buy a slice of veggie pizza and just eat the cheese and veggies. ) Subway makes decent salads, too, with whatever kind of meat you want on it.

Chili is another thing you can probably have at a fast food joint.

For snacks: I keep cheddar cheese cut up into one-ounce slices to grab quickly. I also keep several hard boiled eggs on hand. Don't be afraid to eat wierd stuff like a big spoon of peanut butter or cream cheese. It looks wierd, but it's a perfectly good snack. Whatever works for you!
