This is a good idea, but depends how often you go out to eat. If you have to eat out a lot, I could see how this applies.
For me, I don't eat out that often, my schedule doesn't permit it, so going out to eat is a treat. Therefore, a treat is a treat! I enjoy myself with my friends and family by making the most of a good thing.
Pre-Plan Your Meal Before looking at the menu
Posted by Swati S.
Whenever I would eat out, I would normally order the ‘wrong’ kind of food because it would just look so inviting on the menu card. Now, what I do is to pre-plan my order so that there is less room for temptation. If it’s a place I have never been to before, I check it out on the web, and if all else fails – plan a rough order and then order things according to that. Try it – it really helps do away with some unnecessary calories, and a lot of guilt!
