7.Order children’s portions at restaurants.
Ordering a child-size entry is a great way to cut calories and keep your portions reasonable. This has become such a popular trend that most servers won’t bat an eye when you order off the kids’ menu. Another trick is to use smaller plates. This helps the portions look like more, and if your mind is satisfied, your stomach likely will be, too.
8.Swap a cup of pasta for a cup of vegetables.
Simply by eating less pasta or bread and more veggies, you could lose a dress or pants size in a year. «You can save from 100-200 calories if you reduce the portion of starch on your plate and increase the amount of vegetables,» says Cynthia Sass, RD, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
