Like I mentioned before, my family likes to eat out. This is the one thing that scared me the most when I considered taking on the challenge of The Virgin Diet. I just didn't think there would be any place to go out to eat. Luckily, I have found some restaurants where I can eat and still stay on the plan. Here are a few I found:
Like I mentioned before, Chipoltle
1 - Beef or chicken brown rice bowl w/black beans, lettuce, salsa, and guacamole
2 - Beef or chicken salad with brown rice, black beans, salsa, and guacamole
Grillsmith
Fit Salmon w/double order of steamed vegetables
Fish City
1 - Crab leg dinner w/double order of steamed vegetables
2 - Dozen boiled shrimp appetizer w/ a side of sautéed spinach with garlic
Texas Roadhouse
6 oz Filet w/double order of steamed vegetables
Burger 21
2 Hamburger patties with lettuce, tomato, and mustard
***When ordering in a restaurant I now ask if the steamed/sautéed vegetables are prepared with butter. If so, I ask if I can have them prepared with out (possibly substitute olive oil). I also had to make the same request for the steak at Texas Roadhouse. Normally, you don't think of butter being on a steak but many steakhouses brush butter on top to the steaks after cooking. So far I have found that the wait staff is more than happy to accommodate my requests. I think the key is just communicating with them and asking a lot of questions.
