I'm going out to eat tomorrow. It's been a while since I ate out at a restaurant, but it's a special occasion. I've been dieting all summer and I'm where I wanted to be when I started: I was 6'2 200 lbs now I'm 6'2 150 lbs. Thing is I don't want to take any steps backwards. I want to be able to enjoy going out to eat with out worry "how many calories...". This is a cheat meal I guess you could say, but I still don't want to exceed my RMR, which is around 2,000.

1st of all, I need suggestions:

That's the menu of the place I'm going tomorrow. I need to know what you think are the best items there. I'm kind of tried of chicken, I was think of those steaks or some ribs, are those ok?
Also, obviously this isn't health food. So it's going to be my largest calorie intake of the day. I was thinking in order to stay with in, or at least close to, my regular calorie intake of 1500 calorie leave and still eat more than 4 times a day I could eat like this:

1st meal (9 am)
250 calories
oat meal + protein shake
- 5 g fat
- 27 carbs
- 25 protein

2nd meal (12 noon)
100 - 130 calories
Dry salad + fruit
- < 1g fat
- < 15 carbs
- < 1g protein

Restaurant meal (3:00 - 4:00)
###

Last meal (6:00)
110 calories
Protein shake
- 2g fat
- 4g carbs
- 20g protein

The 3 meals I eat at home will at the most = 500 calories, leaving 1000 calories for me to eat at the restaurant.
I'm not sure exactly how many calories are in these things, can one meal at a place like this be 1,000 calories?! Not sure, but again like I said, it's not health food. Any suggestions?

P.S.
Tomarrow, sunday, is my one and only off day. I will be doing no cardio. I may do some mild dumb bell exercises and crunches.

honestly if you eat well normally a cheat meal once or twice a week won't make a blind bit of difference. secondly at 6'2 and 150 pounds you're underweight

EDIT: one very important tip for restaurants; stay away from creamy sauces and dressings they ussually contain more calories than the food itself (and I'm not exaggerating!!)

Well, that makes me fell better.
I know 150 is somewhat low, but I wanted to loss the fat first. Gaining muscle was second. Though I did do both pretty well I think, better than I though I would. I plan to work on bulking this fall.

Yea, those sauces are horrible. Even the dressings you'd buy in the store have like 150 fat calories in 1 table spoon.
Anyway, I'll probally go with the steak. ;) thx.

While eating out specially formal occasions, one can only restrict too some extent without seeming too fastidious. It only seems reasonable to go to the extent of skipping certain sauces(as you said), extra cheese, fries etc and also opting for grilled choices. I am always for doing some extra cardio the next day.
 
i don't eat out that much but if i do, i make sure to eat small. and share.
but right, ya gotta keep up working out after.
 
normally when i go out i either plan ahead and eat what/how much i want,or i eat the right portions. Also, i agree that grilled is alot better for you when eating out and i think it tastes alot better too.
BEST,
