The Cheesecake Factory

The Cheesecake Factory is workable. They built the Skinnylicious menu specifically for diners who want quality food without the calorie load, and every item on it is under 590 calories. Order from there and the portions and macros are already dialed in.

• →Look for the Skinnylicious section; it is its own menu within the menu and every item on it is under 590 calories.
• →The Brown Bread arrives automatically; let it sit.
• →Skinnylicious portions are still generous; plan to eat about two-thirds and box the rest.
• →If you are celebrating, share one cheesecake slice three or four ways; a few bites is enough.
• →Sparkling water or still water is the right call here.
• →Water and diet sodas are both zero-calorie and work well here.

In your first few months, order a Skinnylicious entree and eat it slowly. Even the lower-calorie options here are generous portions and your stomach capacity is reduced early in treatment.
