boyfriend's taking me out to a nice restaurant. I already have outfit and everything all picked out. However, in terms of diet, we plan on getting calamari as an appetizer and I was thinking an organic chicken dish, but it's stuffed with bread crumbs. I probably should let myself enjoy the night, but any suggestions on how to do damage control?
Luckily I don't have to worry about chocolate or dessert, because he knows that I don't like getting dessert and I'm trying to eat healthy, plus I don't like chocolate.
Thanks!

Difficult to know how to respond, without any understanding of the restaurants menu.

Re: Valentine's Day
Suggestions from the main dinner menu.
Starters
Option 1
Antipasto, hold the meat and Vegetables, just cold meat and olives. They should be able to do this.
Option 2
Wild mushrooms. It's a side dish but if you wanted it for a starter, then why not?
Mains
Option 1
Pork chops
Option 2
Filet Mignon, hold the mushrooms, if you had mushrooms as a starter, otherwise leave them in.
Dessert
Option 1
Mix and Match. Berries from the fricassée, combined with chocolate sauce. I can't see why they couldn't do that.
Option 2
Chocolate Decadence, minus the cake; just the mousse, cherries and cherry-bourbon anglaise. I would think they would be able to do this.
Alternatively you could with this second option, split the dessert, so you have what I said and hubby gets the cake for him seperately.
One option creating 2 seperate desserts and saves $9 while you're doing it, if you propose the idea to the staff properly. This saves money without looking a skinflint, romance killing option.
You've got a simplified system there. Two options per course, os that should work for you .

Re: Valentine's Day
Just don't mind your diet on that day. That is a special day, so you'd rather enjoy it than think of your diet.
