Avoid the breadbasket: Avoid eating too much bread before your dinner. Alternatively, you may have a small salad.
Watch your portions: Restaurant meals are generally significantly greater than what you would eat at home. Take half your meal or share an entrée.
Avoid creamy sauces: Order tomato-based sauces or sauce on the side.
Don't be scared to ask: Ask the waiter how the food is cooked and if there are any healthier choices. Many eateries will accommodate special diets with no problem.
