Training and Looking for a Personal Fitness Coach In Atlanta
If you eat at restaurants, it's easy to eat over 1500 or 2000 calories per meal.
one dinner...
Pre-dinner bread & butter -> 200 calories
Pre-dinner cocktail -> 150 calories
Appetizer -> This could be a 500-1500 calorie bomb on it's own!
Steak -> 300-500 calories
Potato -> 150-300 calories
Vegetable -> 100 calories
Dinner Drink -> 150 calories
Dessert - 300-750 calories
After Dinner Drink - 150
And that's only if you CONTROL yourself. If you go on a rampage,
you could be looking at 2500 or even 3000 calories in one sitting.
Those numbers are scary.
Fortunately, there are ways to avoid this dietary nightmare while
dining out. Here are 5 rules to cut 1000 calories from your
dining-out diet...
1) Plan ahead and avoid restaurants that offer huge portions.
2) Skip the bread. It won't stop you from eating your full meal
anyways, so just send it back.
3) No booze or liquid calories of any type.
4) No potatoes. Stick to your protein and your vegetables.
5) Reward yourself with only the tiniest bit of dessert, if at all.
It's all about taking responsibility for your choices. And yes,
choosing between the "Pain of discipline or pain of regret". What's
your choice?
