If I eat out, it's generally my meal for the day. I don't really
worry about it too much.

But I get my cheesecake to go if I get one, and we split it.
I hardly ever order dessert out, otherwise.

I get the lunch size fish and chips. You will wonder how much
they can possibly give you for the dinner portion! Still, it's
under 1500 calories. No, I'm not trying to say it's diet food.
I don't clean my plate, either, who could eat all those chips.
