Ask them not to bring the bread and always start with a salad (dressing on the side) or soup.
If you haven't already received a copy of the Stop & Go Nutrition Guide, pick one up from local Human Resources. This guide is great if you have to eat Fast Food.
I try to eat a protein snack bar or drink a protein drink before eating out. That way, I'm not as starving and I make better menu choices.
If something comes with fries or chips, ask to replace them with a side salad.
I heard a tip that I'm starting to apply and is helping me: Plan your meal at least 2 hours before being really hungry, this way you can make better and healthier food choices. Good luck!
