Q:What are strategies to put into action in sub and pizza restaurants?

A:

  • Take advantage of those 6" subs. That's portion control at work.
  • Subs are made to order. Watch the preparer carefully and tell them what you want and what you don't want. For example: Leave off mayonnaise, oil, dressing. Add on more lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, peppers, vinegar, mustard.
  • Split that bag of chips.
  • Pizza - go heavy on the healthier vegetable toppings. Go light on the meat and extra cheese topping. Then stop at 2 to 3 pieces.
  • Get a salad with pizza to fill you up.
