Dougie, we eat out alot as a family so I understand your woes! We had Chinese this past week so I chose their soup--vegies in a beef broth with 4 different meats (did not eat the carrots or baby corn in the soup) and had the chicken on skewers. I am sure there was something on the chicken but I chose not to fret and just kept on drinking that water. The family wanted mexican food the other day, so I chose the taco salad, but had it in a real bowl, not an edible one. Creative choosing is what we have to do eating out. And pizza with the family turned out for me to be a salad and one slice of pizza--but only the topping part! I didn't eat the crust (and I used to LOVE the crust!!!).
What I've tried to do is think about all my favorite places to eat, and consider ahead of time okay--if I go to Bennigan's, waht will I eat? The answer--grilled salmon w/butter and lemon with a vegie side order. Hold the rice. We eat LOTS Of Mexican Food down this way so I will have to watch that more than anything. By being an active-thinking-eater, it isn't too hard to plan to eat the right things even when forced to go to restaurants!
