As you all know, restaurants are filled with so many tasty, yet unhealthy, options! Just walking to your table you pass other people and see their burgers, fries, crispy chicken, etc. It all looks so good and it's so easy to say, "That's what I'm having!" without thinking about any of the consequences (not only on the scale, but on your heart!)
So, here is my secret to success....
Before we go to the restaurant I get online and look at the menu (if available, which for most restaurants it is). While looking, I also put the name of the restaurant into my calorie counter app on my phone (I use My Fitness Pal, but I know there's others like Calorie Counter). I find an item on the menu that looks good and then I look up the nutrition facts on my app. I do this until I find something that fits the guidelines of my taste buds and my diet! That way, before I even get to the restaurant I know exactly what I am getting, so there is no need to look at the menu and have to see all the other options there are! And, by the time you get there you have thought about what you will be having, and it sounds so good, you don't find yourself wanting anything else!
