1. Be selective in choosing restaurants. Find a place with low-fat alternatives. 
2. Order wisely. Try ordering from a ‘lite’ menu list or choose items that are grilled, baked, steamed, roasted, broiled, poached or lean. Steer clear of items described as battered, breaded, fried, escalloped, or creamed.
3. Avoid buffets or go up to the food bar just once! It’s easy to over-eat!
4. Be assertive. Asking questions is your right as a paying customer. Ask how items are prepared. Consider requesting specific cooking methods. Leave if your meal is not prepared the way you want.
5. Hold the fatty condiments. Ask that it be placed ‘on the side’ or not be sent at all. You may want to bring your own low-fat spreads or dressings!
6. Fill up on vegetables. Consider ordering a large salad with lean meat to fill your tummy. Ask about the vegetable of the day. Making vegetables the largest part of your plate is a smart way to cut calories.
7. Be selective about your meat selection. Fish or chicken usually contain less saturated fat than red meats when prepared properly. However if you order beef or pork cuts with the word loin or round in the name these can qualify as lean meat. Remember to ask for gravies and ‘mystery’ sauces "on the side" or use just a small amount.
8. Split an entree with a friend. This prevents you from overeating and saves money. Some people take half their portions home for later.
9. Ask that pre-dinner munchies not be sent or not until dinner or not be sent at all. This way you’ll still be hungry for your meal!
10. When you are full, ask that leftover food be taken away.  This will help keep you from munching while waiting on the ticket.
11. Choose low-fat desserts such as sherbet, ice milk, low-fat frozen yogurt, or fresh fruit. If you feel the urge to splurge, split a high-fat dessert with your companions.

• Have small amounts of what is offered. Taking a few bites of each food can prevent you from feeling deprived.
• Station yourself away from the food. If you’re standing next to the chips and cheese, you are bound to overeat.
• Focus on the activities other than eating. Appreciate and inquire about the people and events taking place.
• Plan ahead. Visualize how you will eat at the party. Eat a snack before hand and bring a healthy food to the party!
