27F, 5’1”, weighing about 140 lb currently, trying to lose 15lb. I have been tracking my calories for a week using MyFitnessPal, and working out 4 to 5 times a week. For my lifestyle, gender and weight MFP recommended an intake of 1200 calories a day.
I usually make my meals at home now, since it’s easier to track calories that way, and it’s working out well so far. I’m eating healthier and don’t overeat this way (which I did do quite often before). However my friends like to eat outside a lot, and when I hang out with them I end up eating with them. This week we went out for Chinese food, and then Korean bbq and bubble tea in subsequent days. Being around friends is an integral part of my social life since I’m single and live far away from family. But it’s also making my weight loss goals more difficult as I cannot track how much I’m eating. Is there a way to track calories properly when you eat out? How can I maintain social obligations of hanging out with them and work towards my weight loss goals at the same time?
