Hi there! i've been "forced" to eat there TWICE in the past month, and i never go there! Anyway, the first time I went, I got the Weight Management Grilled Chicken:
Lightly Pounded Chicken Breast Charbroiled and Topped with a Tomato and Arugula Salad. Garnished with Steamed White Rice and Asparagus. Under 590 Calories.

That is a lot for lunch, but you can always take the second half home for dinner, or not eat the rice and save yourself a couple hundred calories.

The second time I went I got the Herb Crusted Salmon Salad. It's not one of their weight management salads, but now I was just trying to not devour a huge bowl of pasta and thought this looked tasty without being high in carbs:

Our Wonderful Fresh Herb-Crusted Salmon Served Chilled on Top of Baby Lettuces, Tomato and Vegetables. Tossed in Our Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Good luck! And stay away from the bread basket!!

Factory Burger with the top part of the bun removed. No fries. De-lish.

P.S. When I was actively losing weight, I ate this *every single Friday.*

I go to restaurants a lot, and in general I order grilled chicken without toppings. If it seems oily, I dab it with napkins to get rid of some of the grease. Alternatively, I will get a burger, plain, and eat only a small part of the bun or order a turkey sandwich on whole grain minus any bacon or mayo. Or at a fancier place I'll get a filet mignon and plain baked potato. I've eaten out often throughout my weight loss. If I have a big meal at lunch, I'll compensate by eating a little lighter at dinner. You can dine out almost anywhere, but just make healthier choices and watch what you eat the rest of the day.

kellost: I'm also a big fan of the filet mignon and steamed vegetables at restaurants. Usually, it is an 8oz filet, though, which is too much for me at dinner, and because it's expensive, I sometimes feel bad not finishing it. Usually I can pawn some off on my husband.

Hi - check chiming in to say that I just ate lunch at Cheesecake! I had 1/2 Factory Burger on wheat, steamed broccoli, and diet Coke.

Approx. 400 calories

[1/2 of 737 calorie burger
35 calories for steamed broccoli
No fries!]

This is stupid, but I always feel embarrassed ordering "diet" foods when I am out. One thing I've found is that non-cream chicken soups and some bean soups are often low calorie, especially if you ask them to hold the cheese/avacado/tortilla/croutons whatever they have for toppings (350-450 calories, for a bowl). Soup also takes a while to eat, so you finish with everyone else.
