Work It Mama: Friday - Eating Out and Looking Good

Restaurant: Romano's Macaroni Grill
This week's restaurant is so yummy and delish and it also is the best atmosphere ever. I love the charming dimmed lights and festive Italian feel. However, some of MG's menu items can be a disaster. Here are some, not all, of the dangerous digs:
Capellini Pomodoro (pasta dish) = 1000 calories and 41 grams of fat
Chicken Parmigiano (chicken and pasta) = 1490 calories and 68 grams of fat
BBQ Pizza = 960 calories and 27 grams of fat
Chicken Marsala (chicken and pasta) = 1130 calories and 70 grams of fat
Chicken Calzonettos = 1540 calories and 84 grams of fat

Yipes Stripes! If you are going to order a pasta dish I would recommend sharing it or eating just half of the plate.

For some health friendly options I would shoot for a veggie salad without all the crazy calorie packed fixins. They also have a section of their menu called "Sensible Fare" which features lots of healthier options. Including a Sausage Tomato Soup, Steak Salad, Skinny Chicken and Salmon...gotta love that. I love the Chicken Florentine...minus the orzo and nuts and dressing on the side equates to 500 calories.

One more comment go easy on the bread too..which boasts 2140 calories per loaf!!!

Again, I will say it again, if you love something from hear and rarely go, you should splurge. Try to reduce your portion size and just enjoy yourselves. You can also balance out your calories throughout your day and relax and enjoy. But there are lots of healthy yummy options and it really is great place to go. You can't beat kids being able to color on the table. Genius!!
Have a great weekend !
