My favorite way to cut calories when eating at a sit-down restaurant ...

When you eat at a sit-down restaurant, your best bet is to start by choosing the healthiest thing possible.  However, sometimes we want to indulge and enjoy something not so healthy.  A tip that works in either instance is to: 
Pack up half before you even start eating!
Have you ever thought, "I will eat half and take the rest home."?  That usually equals eating the first half and some or all of the rest!  Once we start the process of enjoying a meal, it is more difficult to emotionally disconnect and to realize when we are full or that it is time to stop.  So ask for a takeout box.  Pack away half of your food to take home and then eat the half that is left.  Bonus:  You have another small meal to enjoy at a later time.
