• Read menu descriptions and find out the calorie and nutrients before ordering food
• Be mindful of little extras to your order
• Use your own plate so you can see how much is in the carton, box, or bag of food from the restaurant
• Avoid fried foods and extra sauces on your food
• Substitute rice, potatoes, or pasta for vegetables
• Use portion control and have leftovers the next day
