Last night Rory and I went to Outback Steakhouse for my brother-in-law’s birthday. Going out to eat while dieting can be stressful and frustrating. And, if you don’t know what to order it can completely sabotage all your hard work. So many of my clients complain that they feel anti-social when they’re dieting because they tend to avoid social situations, particularly when they’re hosted in a restaurant or pub. While restaurant foods are typically high-sodium and high calorie, you can almost always find something that won’t set you back a week of dieting and workouts.
I have a mild obsession with scouring menus and finding the best – and worst – options. As for the Outback menu, here are my TOP choices!
{choices based primarily on saturated fat, fiber & sodium content}

Keep in mind, salads do NOT always equal the best option. The Aussie Chicken Cobb Salad, for example, has 526 kcals, 874mg sodium and 13g saturated fat without dressing. Add on the bleu cheese dressing and you’re at 946 kcals, 22g sat fat and 1,358mg sodium… that’s bananas!
What’s your favorite menu option?
Bon Appetit!
