Bob Evans

Bob Evans runs grilled proteins at every meal, all day long. The veggie side selection is solid, and portions are modest compared to most casual dining chains.

• →The biscuits arrive with most meals; let them sit.
• →Any two-side dinner can be built with green beans and broccoli. Both are standard sides.
• →The Wildfire Chicken Salad and the grilled chicken dinner are solid options at any time of day.
• →Water and diet sodas are both zero-calorie and work well here.

In your first few months, Grilled Chicken with green beans and broccoli is the simplest order. High protein, no sides to manage, nothing heavy.
