Choosing Healthy(ier) When Eating Out. (It's hard)

I don't cook every night. Sometimes, my husband, son, and I enjoy a nice evening out. It is very tricky ordering out when you are trying to make healthy eating choices. I was really hungry for a tenderloin. It's been a very long time since I've had one. I'd heard that 54th Street Food and Drink had a good one. That's where we ate this evening. Did you know they have two kinds of tenderloins? The regular and the "Tenderloin on Steroids". I'm not joking. The tenderloin on steroids has ham, bacon, and cheese on top of the tenderloin. Wow. I did not order this one. I ordered the plain tenderloin with no cheese. It was beautiful. I tossed the bun (it looked so nicely buttered, browned, and crispy). I ate half the tenderloin. I remember thinking that this tenderloin is a LOT bigger than a deck of cards (recommended serving size for meat). I made sure that I ate the vegetable condiments that I liked - tomato, onion, pickle, and horseradish. Yum! I ate only half of my waffle fries and gringo cheese sauce. I brought the rest home to either let my husband eat tomorrow or take for lunch. For dessert (later), I had two Reese's dark chocolate peanut butter cups. I had been wanting some dark chocolate. By the way, dark chocolate is healthier for you than other kinds of chocolate.

Now, I'm headed to exercise my delicious dinner off!

P.S. My husband ordered a hamburger with BBQ pork on top with cheese. Nathan ordered a bacon cheeseburger.
