Roxy,

Not answering your question directly, but... I've found that not eating out hardly at all over the past few months has been what's worked for me. There's so much hidden fat, sugar, salt, etc in restaurant food. And it's really hard to estimate portion sizes.

If I *do* eat out, I ask for a to-go box to be delivered to the table along with my meal. I immediately put 1/2 of whatever is on my plate into the to-go box, before I've eaten anything. That way, I'm not tempted to overeat.

Usually I don't eat the other half at all. Jeff typically will eat if for lunch the next day.
