If you like to eat out, here are a few tips to help cut main dish calories at your favorite restaurants.
Go to restaurants that you know broil, grill or bake foods. Ask how foods are prepared so you can make a low-calorie choice.
Consider ordering an appetizer and a tossed green salad instead of a full meal.
Some restaurants pride themselves on the amount of food they serve, but don’t be tempted by the 1-pound steak, the 1/2-pound hamburger or the half chicken. When ordering meat, choose the smallest size piece of meat. A 3-ounce serving, a portion about the size of a deck of playing cards, is satisfying as well as nutritious.
If portions are large, split your dinner with a friend or take half of it home for another meal.
When ordering pasta, choose an appetizer portion, preferably without cream sauce--tomato sauces usually have fewer calories. Also avoid pesto sauces, which are oil-based.
Eat slowly and enjoy your meal fully. Cutting calories doesn’t mean cutting out enjoyment.
