*Ordering a burger or sandwich? Order it with no mayo or cheese. These two items add tons of fat and calories. Make up for the “loss of taste” with ketchup and mustard and lots of “free" condiments….lettuce, tomato and pickle.
*Making a trip to Olive Garden? Tell your waiter/waitress the number of bread sticks you want. None of this endless stuff.
*Red Robin? Who can resist their yummy burgers! Well, did you know they serve their burgers with TWO pieces of cheese? You can easily order with only one piece atop that juicy burger….I know, I’ve done it!
*We’ve heard this time and time again but how often do we do it….order a to-go box at the beginning of the meal. Remove the temptation of going further and further into your “half” portion.
*Don’t be afraid to order your meal the way YOU want it! Steamed veggies vs. sautéed. Salad dressing on the side. A lighter bread. Make substitutions the way you want them.
*Always remember portion control. Do you really think the baked potato from McAllister’s is one serving?
*Stay away from these cooking terms: battered, fried, Au gratin, scampi and tempura to name a few.
*Try to get in some exercise before going.
