Choose simply prepared foods such as broiled, roasted, or baked fish or chicken. Avoid fried or sautéed foods, casseroles, and foods with heavy sauces or gravies.
Ask that your food be cooked without added butter, margarine, gravy, or sauce.
If you're ordering salad, ask for low-fat dressing on the side.
Select fruit, angel food cake, nonfat frozen yogurt, sherbet, or sorbet for dessert instead of ice cream, cake, or pie.
