A Challenge! Have to eat out...

I have been using my fitness pal to eat in calorie deficit for about ten days. Was trying to lose without counting for the four weeks prior. It's going well and I am excited to keep it going.

Tomorrow is one year since I started dating my "boyfriend" (I hate that term, lol). It's very important to him to mark the day. We agreed to go out to dinner. He specifically mentioned that he doesn't want either of us to have to cook on our anniversary.

Last week, I went out for lunch with a different friend. The restaurant happened to have calorie counts on the menu, which were SO HIGH! Gees! I got tilapia because it was the only thing that was under 600 calories. Plenty of entrees were 900-1000 calories!

So..... What am I going to eat / how am I going to handle tomorrow? Whether or not the restaurant has calorie counts on the menu, I now know that they are HIGH, even for chicken and beef dishes that would normally be good if I made them.

I do want to go out to celebrate. And I do NOT have any other ideas of things we could do instead.

Looking for some thoughts.

MFP has me on 1380 kcal a day. And I can't save 1000 calories for dinner, as I really do need (want? prefer?) to eat in the morning, etc.

Ideas? Thank you!
