I have been using Westherspoons a lot - however, am trying to stay relatively healthy.

I am having steaks, or chicken with salad, and jacket.

But, getting bored of having the same food 4 nights running. The other alternatives are ropey Indians where the chutney spoon is bound to have been licked.

Is there anything else removely healthy or safe to have from the wetherspoons menu?

Before I boil eggs in the Best Western kettle....

You can have grilled salmon on their steak night.

Sadly I cannot hack annything remotely fishy, but I do like surf and turf so may well have that as an occasional treat.

Basically trying to avoid anything fried or microwaved salt laden ready meal.

May well have an occasional burger though, but lay off that evil blue gloopy sauce with the ropey onion rings......

I'm not trolling - go running before dinner. I've done 6 months solid of restaurant food and my weight has stayed consistent.

I have whatever I want on running nights and try and be a bit more sensible on the others. You haven't got to go out for hours - you just want to bring your net calories down to that of a normal meal really. 5k should burn a 2 hundred or so.

Walking works just as well too - its the distance, rather than the time you do it in.

I feel your pain, trying to lose weight is a PITA, you have it easy just trying not to put any more on!

I am only away three nights a week so a little more lucky.

I have started taking home made soup to have in the office before I leave to make use of the microwave, also making lunch my main meal so less hungry in the evening when the lure of KFC or the like is at its strongest.

Go out for a walk to your nearest supermarket, but a salad from there, eat it in your hotel room. Exercise + mildly healthier eating.

(tip: always carry a knife, fork & corkscrew in your luggage when you're working away from home)

When I was living away from home, I'd have main meal at the client site and in the evenings fresh fruit and cheese, maybe a bit of ham, picked up from a supermarket on the way to my hotel.

Are we still talking about food, it sounds more like I've stumbled into the urban dictionary

What are you drinking with it?

**DaveB** · 30 July 2015, 09:30

Big breakfast, smaller lunch, small dinner.

Drink plenty of water / tea / whatever during the day.

Get some exercise, 30 mins brisk walk will do it.

Don't eat in 'spoons all the time. Check out the area and find some alternatives.
