Love to eat but hate eating out because of fat!!!

I think a simple universal word like "dry" would help alleviate the ordering of the food .For example "I'd like the bread and the potato "dry" " rather than "no olive oil or butter on the bread and no sour cream or butter on the potato" - saves some breath and makes one look less CRAZY to the rest of the people in the group.

I embarrass my husband with my restaurant ordering habits

To Michigander from lettuceat - A lot of lettuce - about 2 cups. Is that too much?

Love to eat but hate eating out because of fat!!!

I live in a southeastern town and have begun to hate going out to eat. Has anyone else noticed how hard it is to get restaurant food that isn't smothered in butter, oil, cheese, etc. It is so frustrating for me because I feel like I am depriving myself and my family - I want my veggies steamed, seafood that isn't swimming in butter or oil, salads without the special dressings, etc.....And the hardest item to get seems to be good bread that isn't completely oiled or buttered up - is it just me or does anyone else dread eating out because of these issues?
Even our sushi restaurants here have decided to add mayo to all the sushi - so when we go out for that we have to beg "no mayo".

I embarrass my husband with my restaurant ordering habits

I am a lettuce lover and always request tons of lettuce on food in sandwich or mexican restaurants. I am afraid I have gone too far,
making employees angry, making husband angry. How can I get over
my most recent embarrassing incident where I asked the clerk 3 times
to put extra lettuce on my sandwich at a Subway and the spouse got
really mad and said we couldn't go back because of what I had done.
I am feeling humiliated - never want to embarrass him.
