Sometimes it's really nice to dine out. To splurge. To have that thing that you've been craving.
But dine out meals have huge portions and can contain a day's worth of calories.
Ouch!
This leaves you two options:
Only eat one meal that day.
OR
Eat less of that meal.
My husband has recently started watching what he eats as well. Once we collectively realized how many calories we would consume in one sitting, we started being smarter about our choices. Sometimes, if we both agree on something we like, we simply split our meal. We both eat plenty, consume less calories, and spend less money. Win, win, win.
However, when we have differing tastes or cravings, I will instead get my own meal and instantly set aside half of it (I may even ask for a box and box it up right away). I make a logical decision at the beginning, before I start getting beguiled by taste buds, how much of that meal will end up in my tummy.
What works for you when dining out?
