I look for the restaurant online; make my choice; figure out the nutritional values (fat, fibre, protein, carbs); make my choice according to my calculation.
Healthy eating should be balanced, and you need customized excercise and essential nutrition supplements that's not present in our daily foos intake.

That's a poor poll.
I always try to make good nutritional choices at restaurants. However, as your reporter said, that is very difficult to do, but, it is possible. The first think you need to do is totally ignore the salad section; 99% of salads in restaurants are just poor quality lettuce and some green tomatoes and 4 litres of fat. You just aren't going to find a healthy salad out there.
The next thing you need to do is cut your dinner in 1/2 when it arrives and stick to eating only until you are satisfied, which should be before you are full. Or, if they have a decent appetizer section you could have just a selection of appetizers. Not wings! For example, one place I go to with friends has some little tacos. They have a spicy tomatoe salsa, some chicken, lettuce and ripe tomatoes. Simple little things, on corn tortilla. I'm sure the salt load is MUCH more than needed, but it's probably going to be the healthiest choice on that menu.
But of course you have to pick foods that otherwise healthy. Not easy to do, even at good quality restaurants.
