What do you eat when you eat out?
Can we get a list of a few types of restaurants and your suggenstions for the best foods for a bodybuilder?
The steak house is too obvious, we can leave that out.
Japanese:
Lots of choices....
---Sushi
---Sashimi for no carb
---Soba noodles
---Eda mame
---Kushi yaki (grilled meat, fish on skewers)
---all sorts of vegetables, seaweed
...
Chinese:
Difficult... too much sauce, sugar and saturated oils in most chinese restaurant dumps.
---Sechuan style chinese should be okay (spicy, hot)
---Cantonese Style as well (lots of fish, rather light cuisine)
---Peking style is too be avoided??
Italian:
---Caprese (tomato/mozarella salad)
---Carpaccio (raw sliced beef)
---Pizza with vegetables or tuna, less cheese, preferably whole wheat dough
---???
Spanish:
---all sorts of seafood tapas, be careful with olive oil though (probably great for low carb diets)
....
Please add more dishes or cuisines to the list.

I just order whatever catches my fancy.
I recommend red wine to go with dark meat and white wine for chicken and fish.

Well, me too actually. But i just thought we could have a list with suggestions on what is acceptable in a BB diet. Not everyone has your eating habits, (and not everyone has to mention them all the time ;D ;D ;D )

Of course, I understand. ;D
Will be hard to do though, since the two main approaches are almost complete opposites (low carb vs. low fat).

Well, you might have low carb AND low fat meals in some restaurants.
I.e. japanese:
Low Carb = Sashimi

Low fat = Soba noodle

Maybe you should start spending more money on better quality.
;D ;D ;D ;D
NEVER eat cheap Sashimi, NEVER.

There is one thing in life I do not save money on: that's food. Life is too short for that. I would never eat low quality sushi or sashimi. I just don't like the plain fish, at least not as a main dish. A few good pieces as an appetizer is OK.
The real good fish you can only get in Japan anyway.

One of the best things i read on this board so far. 100% true.
As for the real good fish, that's true as well, japs tend to pay the most for good fish, that's why they can buy the best quality. Sushi in Japan is really a lot better than elsewhere in the world, although i think that California might be no 2 on the list.

Them Japs are crazy with tha food. Food fetish, plain and simple.
Surreal how they auction off the best tuna fishes for crazy prices at the big fish markets.
No wonder they get the best fishes, it's not fair. >:(

Been having curry cravings lately. Probably way too much fat, but at least it's a lot of meat, and I love a good chicken korma, not too sweet, few almond shavings, mmmmm. :P "I'm bulking."

Curries are not THAT bad, i think.
You should add lots of vegetables and lean meat or fish, and keep it rather hot.
Japanese curry contain palm oil, which is a good source of MCT, if i'm not mistaken.

bring your plastic containers with salt marinated chicken breasts and rice in a cooler ;D

Haha, I never have such cravings.
And "I'm cutting". ;D
In any case, one chicken curry a week won't kill you, regardless of fat content.

agree, but if you start like: one chicken curry and one pizza and one big burger and one schnitzel and one bowl of ice cream you get into deep shit.
