When you eat out, choose restaurants that are nutrition-oriented. Avoid fast food or the typical diner serving fried, fatty foods. On the menu, the vegetarian fare is usually a healthy option, provided it is not fried.

The offered portions are often more than we need. Remember, your body can only make use of a certain amount of nutrients at a given time. Try choosing an appetizer, soup, or salad for lunch, instead of an entrée. A couple of these small dishes can fill you up and give you some variety—without leaving you overstuffed and lethargic.

If you do order an entrée, ask for a box when the entrée arrives and box up half of it before you start eating. That way you won’t try to finish the whole plate.

Eating with a close co-worker friend? Offer to split the entrée order. You’ll save money and your waistline at the same time.
