Main course: this is easy ground as most restaurants will serve grilled fish or steak. But if this becomes monotonous select from other dishes carefully, choosing lean meat or fish dishes first or salads with cold meats that do not include sausage. Of course, nothing fried. Enjoy all the vegetables that are in season unless they are fried or come under a sauce. No French fries but a small portion of boiled potatoes is fine, or one small baked potato.
Beware of selecting pies or casseroles because of their fatty meat content and the flour that will have been used for thickening the sauces.
Sweet: skip icecream and puddings. If you must have something sweet choose a piece of fresh fruit or fresh fruit salad (no cream). Unless you are on a strict diet a small piece of cheese with a couple of crackers is a good substitute.
Alcohol: should be kept down to a minimum. Perhaps a vodka with soda water not tonic before the meal and only a glass of white wine to follow. To quench the thirst and keep the consumption of wine to a minimum also drink mineral water.
