Sweet Tomatoes is just too dangerous

Despite my best attempts to keep track of all my healthy eating at the buffet restaurant Sweet Tomatoes, I've come to the conclusion that this place gets me in all kinds of trouble.

I start out all virtuous, loading up my plate with raw veggies. Then comes just a spoonful of that addictive broccoli salad, then a little of that Mexican potato salad, then just a few croutons, only a piece of foccaccia ...

You get where I'm going with this.

If you find yourself in a dangerous food situation, like I did yesterday, you just have to make the painful decision that this restaurant will have to wait until you get your eating act together.

Restaurant (calorie) bargain: Ruby Tuesday White Bean Chicken Chili

Dining out can be peppered with caloric landmines at every turn. Even a side of simple steamed broccoli can be unwittingly slathered with fat.

So we here at Shrinking Sisters will share with you our favorite calorie bargains when dining out. First up is Ruby Tuesday's White Bean Chicken Chili. I think I order this every time we go because it's a slam dunk -- filling, tasty, cheap and low in calories.

A bowl of the chili is 228 calories, 8 grams of fat and 5 grams of fiber. Team that up with their

Fresh Tomato and Mozzarella Salad (112 calories, 7 grams of fat and 1 gram of fiber) and you come in well under 400 calories, virtually unheard of at a restaurant.
