What Would You Order? (Earl's Edition)

[shelflife]

I have to go out for lunch with a group of interviewees today, and when I was looking at the restaurant menu, and was a bit stumped as to what my best option is -- so figured I'd throw it out there for your opinions! I'd been trying to mostly follow a phase one plan, but I understand some flexibility is necessary in situations like this.
Any ideas? What is my best option to stay within the SBD guidelines?
NB: I don't eat is fish & seafood (including shrimp)

Here's a PDF to the restaurant menu
The nutritional information for each dish is here.

I've found that most restaurants are very accomodating and will let you modify a dish however you want/basically make a dish for you if you just ask. In this case, I would probaly go with the hot chicken salad, hold the croutons, hold the bread, dressing on the side or ask for basalmic vinegar and olive oil. Good luck and good thinking looking at the menu online!

Santa Fe Chicken Salad sans tortillas, dressing on the side
Steak (no butter), double veggies, no potatoes

On there "Feature Menu" not included above they have

Oven Roasted Chicken with Hunter Sauce green peppercorns, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, rich demi glace and white wine, garlic butter fingerling potatoes and seasonal fresh vegetables

I was thinking this without the potatoes? I know we don't count calories on SBD but that Hot Chicken Caesar has 600 calories WiTHOUT the dressing (1200 with )

A lot of those calories are probably in the bread and croutons, though, which you would omit.

I also don't think 500-600 calories is *that* outrageous for a meal... I guess it may not be very South Beachy of me, but sometimes I like to just eat 3 big meals and no snacks. 3 meals of 600 calories would put you at 1800 calories for the day, which is on target for weight loss for a lot of people.

What did you end up having? Hope it went well!
