1. Curb portions: Always order for one if you are two people and if you are alone set aside some of what is on your plate to bring home.
  2. Resist refined carbohydrates.
  3. Load your plate with colorful choices at the salad bar with vegetables, fruits and small amounts of lean protein. Skip the creamy and ranch dressings.
  4. Choose dishes that are grilled, roasted, steamed, or sautéed.
  5. Don’t be afraid to request a salad, vegetables, or fruit instead of starchy side dishes.
  6. If you are a non–vegetarian, order only fish or seafood.
  7. If you decide to have dessert, share it with your dining companion(s).
