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.
