10 quick tips to save calories...

www.DrWeigh.com

1. Order grilled instead of fried. Avoid the word 'crispy'!
2. Ask for food cooked without butter, oil or mayo. If it can't be cooked without them, ask for as little as possible.
3. Avoid tuna salad. Order turkey instead or make your own tuna at home with low-fat or fat-free mayo.
4. Take your own snacks to the movies. You can pop your own 94% fat-free microwave popcorn at home and save over 500 calories from the movie theater oil-popped popcorn.
5. Avoid creamy or cheesy soups. Stick to red or chicken broth-based soups instead.
6. Be wary of salad dressing. Just because it has lettuce doesn't mean it is healthy. Instead of regular dressing, try fat-free dressing or some balsamic vinegar!
7. Always order the 'kiddie-size' version, when possible. Kiddie-size items usually contain at least one normal adult serving.
8. Serve dinner on smaller plates. You will trick your body into thinking you ate more than you did!
9. Skip regular cuts of meat. Go for extra-lean cuts whenever possible.
10. Limit yourself to one trip to the buffet table. Try to avoid seconds!
