Quick Tips

Maybe this is the start of a "food tips" section of the blog. 

Here's the first- quick tips for dining out and staying thin.

I'm no dietician or anything but I figure these will help you keep off weight when you dine out.

First- going to a restaurant (especially dinner) is going to be a lot of calories (probably 1000+)
So here are some tips (albeit obvious ones) to help you not eat that much.

1. Do NOT eat the bread- it's that simple- it will keep you hungry for the real dishes and will keep off the carbs/cals
2. Share an appetizer- or even better don't even order an appetizer
3. Your best bet is fish or chicken- these two are on almost every menu and are usually good choices for lean protein, so they are still filling but are less on the fat/cals
4. A salad is not always a smart option!- most in restaurants are filled with steak, cheese and fatty dressings- and you can even ask for dressing on the side
5. Still- don't eat nothing and then come home and eat through your fridge. 
6. Lastly, drink water instead of ordering a soda or beer
