Ask if the restaurant provides nutrition information. If so, use these guidelines to avoid foods that are high in fat, cholesterol, and salt.
- Sandwiches made at delis, diners, and other eateries are often overstuffed with meat. Ask for yours to be prepared with less meat than usual, or else remove some of the meat from the sandwich, wrap it up, and refrigerate it as soon as possible.
- Have your sandwich served on whole-grain bread (or bun or roll). When ordering toast, make it whole wheat, rye, or other whole-grain bread.
- Think twice before having a diet platter if it includes a hamburger patty, hard-boiled egg, and cottage cheese made from whole mile. This high-fat meal is no calorie bargain.
- If you order a dish that comes with gravy, such as roast turkey, ask for the gravy (usually high in fat) to be served separately so you can dole it out sparingly.
