Restaurants Tips Just For You

Go for the Good

Promise yourself that from now on, you are only going to eat food that is delicious. Put quality ahead of quantity way ahead. Order food that is going to taste wonderful, and eat it slowly, savoringeverysinglebite.

Share

If you and your companion can agree on what to order, ask for an extra plate and share. If half an entre is not enough, share a salad too, or share the entre and each of you order a cup of soup.

Don't Clean Your Plate

When you start to feel full, stop. You don't have to clean your plate your mother was wrong about this get over that. Yes, you did pay for it, but anything more you eat is going to make you feel worse, not better. You didn't pay to feel worse, now, did you?

Box It Up

The entre was huge; you ate half of it, started feeling full and you stopped. Good for you. But you're sitting there and talking and you're afraid you're going to nibble at it, until it's gone. So call the waiter over right now and ask for a box. This'll taste great tomorrow, and it's just the right amount.

Some people ask for the box when they order also a good idea.

Order Appetizers Instead

The entres look like a lot of food, plus they are expensive. So instead, order an appetizer or two. The quesadilla or the mussel appetizer will probably make a meal, maybe with the addition of a small salad. A soup and a salad may be more than enough.

What If It's Not Enough?

My rule is, “err on the light side you can always order more.” If you order too much, you may feel obliged to eat it, “waste” it, or carry part of it home.

Deserts

Usually I don't order them, unless of course I'm a few pounds under and don't mind a little gain.

If you must, however (a special occasion? Somebody's birthday and you don't want to be impolite?), a bite or two of that rich chocolate will be just as satisfying as the whole thing. So order one and split it two, three, or even four ways.
