Eating Out

In a perfect world, you'd eat at home all the time. But this is the real world, and sometimes you will eat out. Scour the menu for the healthiest options, and keep in mind that minefields are everywhere ― even salads can be calorie bombs if they're loaded with cheese and bacon and smothered in dressing. Choose salads that feature vegetables rather than high-fat additions like croutons, and ask for the dressing on the side. You can also save money and calories if you split an entrée with your dining partner. Restaurant portions are usually so large that they can feed two!
