Sometimes you are on the go and are forced to eat out. Here are some tips to help you minimize your calorie intake when you do:
-
Take at least half of your meal home. You can ask to have half of your meal boxed up before you are served.
-
Share your meal or order an appetizer as your main meal.
-
Eat a salad with low calorie dressing first. This will fill you up and help you eat less of your meal.
-
If allowed, order from the kids' menu. This way, you are guaranteed a smaller portion.
-
Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. Try replacing some of your starch with vegetables, or have meat cooked without oil.
