MSN has a great guide that they got from Prevention on how to cut the calories and fat from a lot of typical restaurant meals. It does a great job in showing two things-
1) Most all of these meals are about 1500 calories and 80 grams of fat. That is a lot since the average adult should be eating about 2000-2500 calories a day total. The typical American has already blown through that by lunch, so it is no wonder 2/3rds of us are overweight. We just eat too much. I will talk more about the psychology of weight gain next week but it is important to see just how impossible it is to lose weight or even maintain if you are eating out a lot.
2) It is possible to cut about half the fat and calories from any of these meals without too much trouble. You just need to know what to get rid of. This works at home too. So look carefully at how they cut the calories from these meals since it is a clue to what is good and bad to eat. If you don’t know that bacon and sour cream account for half the calories on a potato you aren’t likely to order it without them.
Stick around and pretty soon you will be up to speed on this stuff!
