So, what are your strategies for Eating Out?
Here are some of mine:
- At work, check the cafeteria menu online before going down there, and have a plan as to what I'm going to order.
- No filling up on bread.
- Beer is not a food group. (Unless it's Guiness)
- Remember to consider soup. Even "creamy" soups are usually better, calorie-wise, than fried stuff.

- Choose an appetizer for dinner.
- Say "no" to caesar salad unless I plan to make it my meal (this one is HARD)
- Choose lean protein (burgers, steaks, chicken, fish, shellfish)
- Don't choose anything "fried" or "creamed"

- Get sauces and gravies on the side
- Separate out my portion (palm size of meat, fist size of carb) and put the rest on another plate or a to-go box right away
- Eat slowly and mindfully. Enjoy every bite of what I do eat. Enjoy the company. Don't rush.
