Yesterday after breakfast, my husband said we had a lot of errands to run after I picked up the kids from school. I knew I wouldn't have time to cook for the family so we decided to go out to eat. I knew I better plan what I was going to eat before hand in Fitday or else I would get carried away at the restaurant. I went to dietfacts dot com to see what I could eat from the usual restaurants that we go to. The calories, fats and carbs of some of my (past) favorite dishes are startling. Red Lobster was the only restaurant that appeared to be VERY induction friendly and it had almost all of it's menu items on dietfacts. So, including breakfast and Red Lobster, my carbs for the day still didn't exceed 20.
Red Lobster was awesome. Yes, I came, I saw, I conquered.
I had no idea it was Lobsterfest this week. Oy! My absolute favorite is Lobster Bisque.. and don't get me started on the coconut shrimp.... but, since I had already pre-planned my meal and carb count earlier in the day, I didn't even have to break open a menu. Ha! 
Dietfacts gives the nutrition info on everything from the garden salad without dressing, to the counts for just the dressing. I got the garden salad with blue cheese dressing (no croutons), and the Harborside platter which includes a grilled shrimp skewer, shrimp scampi and a lobster tail. It was all divine! I didn't even pull back the napkin on the garlic biscuits. (they smelled so good though...) I did not feel deprived at all.
The true tests came 2 hours after eating...... blood glucose, a wonderful 109, ketostix measured medium purple (moderate), and this morning, same weight as yesterday, no gain. Wah-hoo!
