Okay guys, I HAVE to go to the olive garden tomorrow for lunch--a business thing and I cannot back out, Any suggestions? Do they offer just a grilled chicken? I have not been there in a while and when I did I was not looking at the grilled stuff!!
ANY suggestions would be appreciated! I have not gone off program since I started --I do not want to blow it.

I havent been to Olive Garden in awhile - but 2 weeks ago I had to go with my boss to lunch at a little italian place near us. I got a grilled chicken ceaser salad, no cheese, no croutons. They had FF Italian Dressing so I substituted that for the fully fattening (albiet yummy) ceaser dressing.

I am so sure you will be able to get something similar to that.

If they don't have that type of salad, most restaurants will prepare grilled chicken and steam veggies - no problemo.

Good luck -- I know it's hard -- but you can do it!

Hi,

I've been to Olive Garden and yes, they do have a grilled chicken and vegies. Watch the salad tho............has slivers of carrots in it - I felt like a totally picky eater picking out all the carrots. Hubby thought I was hilarious.

When you go just order carefully and enjoy. Make sure that if you have a salad to order the dressing on the side. Oh and one more tip....sit as far away from the breadsticks as possible!!!!!

I believe their menu is online, if you want to scope out your choices ahead of time. And don't be afraid to ask for what you want - no pasta, extra veggies, little or no oil or butter on the veggies, etc.

Have a great day.

I know this is comming up late but for others in the future, you can order any of the past dishes on veggies instead of pasta. I like the chicken con brocolli, so I can get that just the chicken brocolli and the sauce on the side no pasta.
