Chicago? Restaurant question

Anyone on this board from Chicago? I moved here about a year ago and love this city.

Are there any particular restaurants you go to when you're trying to stick to low calories? If so, what restaurant and what do you get?

WELCOME and thanks for posting!

I am FROM Chicago, but do not live there now.  Now I live in a small village of 300 people and love it.  I DO get into the city a few times a year.

As far as restaurants, I am from the north end, Edgewater neighborhood.  The Pumping Company on Broadway is a family favorite bar/grill that has fantastic food. 

At most restaurants, I try to order off of the appetizer menu if there is something that is mostly protein.  Salads with protein are good too, but I always need a box.  Otherwise, I order a full meal and either bring the balance home or have my husband or kids eat it.

The usual rules of baked, poached or broiled instead of fried are best.  Seafood is my favorite.

 

Hope this helps and come back and join us!

 

 

Tell someone that you love them!
