i'd say some easy rules to follow are to choose something grilled- stay away from anything fried! a small order of fries is 400 calories, and thats just a side dish! cheese and mayonnaise based sauces also add up so if you can't skip both- skip one. taco bell serves items 'fresco style'- using salsa instead of the cheese and sauce, and thats a nice alternative! nicole richie's trainer said as long as you have protein at every meal, you can eat fast food 2x a week. WOOHOO!!!

Eat a healthy meal that fills you up before going out. Then when you go out, take a few bites from the appetizer plate or your mans plate. Don't drink too much alcohol either. Tons of sugars and calories in drinks, sometimes there are more in the drinks than the meal alone.
Also, for the fast food.
Taco Bell is healthy for really cheap. If you get beans in whatever you order. Subway is affordable and yummy. LA BOU is good and healthy (I like the Chinese Chicken Salad)

I think that for me one unhealthy thing sets the ball rolling. . . like --don't drink sodas or have french fries --it makes my body crave more poisons. . .
I'm cheap too --I think the healthier restaurant choice first is most important. . . salad always tends to be cheaper than the rest of stuff --oatmeal if it's breakfast is cheap --with herbal tea maybe. . .
I'd say avoid sugar, dairy, and oily stuff and you'll be on a good start --a turkey sandwhich and vegetable soup?
all the best to ya

dont go out. that way you cant fail.
or if you want a practical answer.....
pack something before you go and take it with you. eat something before you go.
or reasearch places that let you have something in line with your culinary needs. doesnt applebees have a weight watchers menu now?
if all else fails ask the manager of the establishment if they can make something special for a few bucks more. example:
pan fried trout with green beans almondine and au gratin potatoes, ask for oven baked trout with the green beans almondine and a baked potatoe or something like that. if you tip good enough or pay a bit extra or both and this is a regualr place you go to. they might be more accomodating
good luck

You can eat anything but ask for dressing on the side,
skip the fries and have a salad instead. Eat Steak and Salad, no Cesar though, You can ask for an egg-white only omelet,
Have beef noodle soup, fills you up and is healthy.

I think that you should just keep count of the percentage of each nutrition that you are getting and each make sure not to go over and to balance out all of your meals.
Most restaurants will tell you the nutrition facts so as them and stay on track.

well u can look up the place where u r going to eat and ask if thy serve certain food. or since u already know healthy eating then u know what to eat or what not to eat. i know with my she can eat out cause she can eat the thing they put in food. and if u r poor then u should not be eating anywayz.

Subway...Eat fresh! Seriously though, it's much healthier than greasy burger.
