If you're choosing the restaurant you can choose one with a great reputation for fresh, broiled fish, or creative, low calorie vegetarian dishes. Make one glass of white wine last the entire evening. It's amazing how many times you can sip at, but not drink, a glass of white wine. Have the salad as your appetizer, of course with the dressing on the side. Dipping into the dressing rather than submerging the salad in dressing will preserve the flavor of the salad while lowering fat.
Appetizers make great main dishes, smaller portions, great taste, and less cost.
Order naked vegetables. If they're battered or fried, cheesed or dripping in butter you defeat the purpose. Make sure your main entree, if you need one, is broiled and extra lean. Of course you don't want desert, but if you want an excuse to linger, enjoy a cappuccino, of course without any extra whipped cream.
