Eating out is not too hard at all actually... you will learn what to eat and where it is best for you to go the longer you are on the program.
There are a few sites out there that will help you with points for restaurant food... This site has one I believe and I know that Dotties does also... I never go out to eat unless I check their menus and points values first and then I know what to order before I get there.
Check out this site...
http://www.dwlz.com/restaurants.html scroll down about half way and you will see a listing of the resturants... click on it and it gives you the points value for some of the foods that they serve.
Hope this helps!
