Appetizer Advice

Skip the bread basket, especially if you are ordering something to start

Just scan the appetizers looking for healthier options.

Personal favorites:broth-based soup (studies show people who

start meals with soup eat fewer calories overall at that meal),

Shrimp cocktail, Steamed clams Green salad (vinaigrette dressing).

Main Meal Management

Things to avoid: anything fried, dishes with lots of cheese, pasta, and

anything super-saucy.

Better choices: grilled meats or fish, and steamed dishes.

Sides: stick with veggies over starches. ask to substitute a salad as as starter for one of the

sides

Dessert

Cheesecake Factory Original CheesecakeCalories 710

Olive Garden Tiramisu Calories 470

Soft Serve Vanilla Cone Calories 410

Dessert

NEVER ORDER YOUR OWN! Share dessert with the table

Have coffee or a night cap over dessert: Saving that second glass of wine for after dinner can

save you calories over having dessert Have coffee to cure that craving for something rich

Save dessert for another night: Don’t over-do-it, save some of that wiggle room for

another night. Stop for ice cream or frozen yogurt, order a junior.

Keep things simple: The more decadent the description, the higher the

calories
