I travel a lot for work. My best tip is to tell them what you WANT, rather than what you don't want. For example, "I would like a mixed green salad with cucumber, tomato, and celery. Can you do that for me?" goes over better than "I'd like the mixed green salad, without the cheese, bacon, olives, etc..." Another tip - when going into social situations, have a product before you go. You will make better decisions when you are not hungry.
Good luck!
Oh... when I meet friends for a meal and I'm not eating, I just say "I actually already ate, but I'd love a club soda..." If you are in need of something to eat but don't really need to eat, get mixed greens or a side of steamed veggies.
