- When eating out, ask for a to-go box and take half your meal home
- Try to order proteins like meat and fish, or plant-based proteins like tofu over carbohydrates like pasta, rice, and potatoes
- When eating out, ask to hold the starch and double up on the veggies
- When plating your food, make ½ the plate veggies and salad. The other ½ split into 2/3 protein and 1/3 carbs. The starchy carbs should be the smallest item on your plate.
- Limit eating out to no more than once per week and try to cook more healthy meals at home
