FIXES

Avoid themost obvious calorie trap by askingfor salad dressing on the side and then using

just a drizzle. Or request oil and vinegar on theside.

Try to scrape off asmuch sauce as possible,and skip buttery sauces altogether. A

tablespoonofbuttersaucecandishupcloseto100calories.

Skip breaded coatings like the crust on friedchickenorcutlets.

Choose justonestarch,eitherbreadorpotatoor rice, and keep your portion at around one

tennisball,usuallyabout100calories.
