Find a restaurant that offers an extensive menu. Keep hunger under control. Don't skip a meal on the day you are going out. Have a light snack an hour or so before the meal to help curb your appetite. Survey the selections.
Many restaurants have special listings for healthy eating.
When eating out, remember you're in charge. Order a la carte. Make a meal from appetizers. Consume condiments carefully. Many of us instinctively add salt, butter, sauces and salad dressing, sometimes even before tasting the food.
