on the border

what should i eat at on the border??? help!!! i'm eating there for lunch w/ my mom and sis and i want to know what is the best thing (i've never been there) w/ low cals!

if you go to their website you can look up nutritional info although for some reason I couldn't open it up in PDF file (some new software my hubby installed on our computer)

One idea is to order the chkn fajitas. have only one fajita, be careful how much sour cream and cheese you add, but a sprinkle should be ok. drink alot of water and you should be fine! don't eat the beans or rice, or if you do- Follow the french rule--three bites and then fork/spoon down. Enjoy! I would also recommend NOT bringing home the leftovers, many do this. If you eat out, EAT OUT and enjoy the experience, but when you leave, its over,done, ka-put. Don't bring it home with you. Just wait until the next outting, heaven knows it won't the last OUT TO EAT event in your life. Treat it like a special event like it should be.

 On the border sounds YUM!! Lynette

i was looking at their menu.... i couldn't find how many cals were in their "border smart chicken".... any ideas??

the fajita idea is good. i might do that. i was also thinking about a kids grilled chicken, grilled veggies and a salad. that's not too mexican though! haha.

What did you have???  Mexican is my favorite, and I always struggle when I go out to eat at Mexican restaurants. 

i had a crispy chicken taco (w/ lettuce, tomatoes and cheese)--- 240 cals along with a house salad w/ fat free vinegarette (sp?) dressing--- 200. i didn't skimp on cheese and i ate the tortilla crunchie things on the salad. it was a great lunch and i enjoyed it :)

i stayed away from the chips and salsa too!!! go me!

Way to go....sounds delicious!  That's a major biggie for me, chips and salsa....I loooooooooove salsa and add it to eggs and just about anything I can think of!

I stick with the Fajita's when I go out for mexican.  Hubby and I used to go to on the border once a week for thier chopped chicken salad thinking we were making a good choice I found out later that that salad had like 1000 calories.. +.   I just wanted to warn you about the salad!!  I think they have a couple of items on thier menu that list the the nutrition information.
