Extra Tips:

Stay away from mayonnaise or sauces. Try wiping them off with a napkin and replacing with mustard or ketchup.

Be wary of super-sized meals. Super-sized means super-calories.

Avoid deep-fried foods or those that contain cheese.

If you choose a salad, don't cover it in a creamy high-fat dressing.

If you have the choice between grilled and fried, choose grilled.
