Olive Garden - used to get Chicken Giardino, but they took it off the menu (was pasta, chicken, and veggies... left the sauce off). Now I order something like chicken fettucine with no sauce and add plain grilled chicken. Bread sticks are safe, too, if you order them dry (no garlic/butter).
Red Lobster or other fresh seafood restaurants - steamed crab legs (YUM!), grilled shrimp (be careful that they do not add a lot of seasoning or oil/butter... I have to send these back until they get it right, but it's yummy when they do), broiled fish (again, with no butter on it!). I also get a 2nd baked potato instead of the salad.
Mexican - I have found 2 nearby Mexican restaurants that are not too greasy. I order chicken fajitas with rice instead of beans (be careful with the rice, too, though... some are high in fat!). No sour cream or guacamole. Bring your own baked tortilla chips for the salsa.
Gyro place at the mall - Grilled chicken pita (plain) with rice
Arby's - plain grilled chicken sandwich & baked potato
Macaroni Grill - This is my current favorite!! Kid's grilled chicken meal (comes with spaghetti & broccoli). I ask for double spaghetti instead of broccoli, and I get the sauce on the side so I can just dip into it lightly. Ask for chicken to be cooked plain (no oil/butter). Don't eat the bread.
Stir Fry Cafe - Plain chicken with white rice. I pour soy sauce on it myself.
