FOODIES!

I'm a foodie. My friends are foodies. My family are foodies. We all love to go out and try new restaurants, I am talking high quality restaurants with the best new chefs, the freshest ingredients and the most incredible food. The restaurants I am attracted too typicall have a farm to table mentality and produce nutritious (but not low cal!) and delicious food.

I try to make smart decisions when I eat out. Like choose apetizers and salads instead of big main dishes. I stick with seafood instead of red meat, etc. BUT I have a "moral" (foodie morality) aversion to asking a top chef to change they way they cook a dish to make it more figure friendly. Problem #1.

Problem #2 is that I never log a dinner out because I don't know how to break it down. I especially don't know how to count the calories in a meal because who knows how many ingredients when into that dish, how much butter, oil, salt etc.

I love eating good food, and I don't want to give that up I would just like to know how to 1) gain confidence and tact to order food the way I want it 2) figure out the approximate calories of dishes at a (non-chain) restaurant so that I can budget throughout the day (I would much rather skip lunch then skip a dinner out! (yes I do realize that "skipping" meals is frowned upon by many))

Anyone out there the same way? Any suggestions?
