How to eat healthy at restaurants

You can't avoid it, sooner or later someone is going to want to take you to eat out, but there's things you can do to not eat more than you should.

• Drink tons of water! This will leave less room in your stomach for your inevitable high-calorie meal.

• Depending on who you're with/what you'll be able to get away with, push aside 1/2 of your meal and have the waitress box it up for you. (You can just throw it out later.)

• Make a comment about how the last time you ate there was some ligament in it so maybe you'll have a salad or something.

• Salads though!! They're full of nasty calories in restaurants. Avoid salads with fried chicken, lots of cheese, and always ask for dressing on the side.

• Never get the House Dressing, Ranch Dressing, or Thousand Island.

• Lastly, if you're at a restaurant with "dessert people", get a more substantial meal. (If you are getting a salad or grilled chicken or add a side.) You just have to make sure that everyone sees you eat enough for it to be reasonable that you don't have room for dessert.
