Cook poultry with the skin on to keep it moist, but remove it before eating to save up to 5 grams per 3-ounce portion. Use jam, jelly or fresh fruit rather than butter and syrup on pancakes, waffles and French toast. When preparing a meatloaf, substitute ground turkey meat for ground beef, egg whites for whole eggs, and add barbecue sauce or kethcup for seasoning and taste. Eat only half of the baked potato in a restaurant, since these potatoes are sometimes large. Two slices of Pizza Hut Cheese Pan Pizza has 24 grams of fat, while two slices of Pizza Hut Thin 'n Crispy Cheese Pizza has only 13 grams of fat.
Some restaurants even make cheese-less pizza.
At fast food restaurants, order simple burgers, rather than double, jumbo or super burgers. Choose chicken and fish that are grilled, charbroiled or roasted rather than fried or breaded items. Order them with no sauce, and use honey mustard or barbecue sauce instead. The best fats are canola, sunflower, safflower, corn, soy, olive and fish oils. Acceptable fats are peanut oil and fat from poultry and nuts.
