You live and you learn. You'll have those experiences, just use your head and learn from them. I ate breaded chicken THREE times before I realized, hmmm, this might not go well! I'm dense so hopefully you'll learn faster than me!! lol.

I eat out fairly often. Most restaurants will do smothered chicken w veggies. I had a fry joint make me zucchini instead of fries, asking works!! lol.

For fast food, I'm really loving McDonalds grilled chicken ranch snack wrap and just eat the ranch, cheese and chicken. You can get a bun less hamburger, you know about Taco bell, they also have a great chicken ranch taco salad, I just get no rice or tortilla strips, the meat is really really soft and easy on my tummy.

I eat pulled pork or turkey at bbq joints.

Lots of seafood at restaurants.

When I go to the restaurant I ask for the nutrition menu. This is almost a norm now days with so many people having spacial dietary needs. I've always been a modify queen meaning special orders is the way I always seem to order. At Denney's I've ordered an egg omelet with 1 egg instead of three with ham, onions, and green peepers, no hash-browns, no toast, and 1/4 cup cottage cheese on the side. I've also had their fish, yum. I also like going to Alfy's for the salad bar. At KFC I've had their original chicken wing and nothing else. I've had re-fried beans with a smidgebit of red sauce and a little bit of cheese.

Every restaurant seems to have something I can eat. The main thing is be specific on your order and don't be embarrassed.

For emergencies when I can't get to a restaurant if I'm out and about I'll have a Pure Protein bar.

Hope this helps
