YUM! That sounds like Benihana's which is one of my favorite restaurants (only I like the drinks too...so more of a Free Day place...except Jim doesn't care for it all that much).
If they let you pick out your meat and prepare it at the table to your specs, then you should have no problem selecting something clean - like some chicken, shrimp, or REALLY lean beef...and load on those veggies, girl!
I'd skip the rice unless it was brown...however they might have another carb choice, like some fresh-cut fruit. Despite the list in the book, just about any fruit you can think of is okay on BFL (as well as veggies - just remember that some 'vegetables' should be counted as carbs - such as winter squash, yams, corn, etc.).
If there's no other choice, then select steamed white rice - make sure it's a fist-size portion though...you should be able to eyeball it. I know Tall Jen (TJ) at L&S eats white rice on occasion - I wouldn't make a habit of it though...
Susanje - I'm actually thinking about getting some PowerBlocks for the very same reason (so hubby can work out). Jim has actually started going to the gym here at work!!! He's planning on going three times a week. I keep him posted about all the goings-on at L&S and I do have some email correspondence with some of the folks there - Robb P is one of them. He has made an AMAZING transformation into a real hottie
Jim saw his 'then and now' pix and I think he's FINALLY starting to get a little teeny spark of inspiration. (He's more interested in L&S since there are no guys here at 3FC except for the occasional visitor). Of course, he's just working the muscles HE wants to work - biceps, triceps, and chest - and just using the machines. As soon as we get our finances in order (love the marriage penalty - NOT!) I might look into getting the set that goes up to 60# and a bench, so he doesn't have to go anywhere to work out (no excuses!).
Later all!
Need some help
