Look over the menu and go for food choices that look healthier. One of these are the salads. Do not opt for anything that is fried, even if it is vegetable based because the oil has a great content of fat and cholesterol. Go for food that is baked, grilled or boiled. There are many baked sandwich options. If you are getting a salad, stick to fresh fruit and vegetable ones. Try to avoid those with meat inclusion. Chicken salad is better than beef or pork ones.

It is important to make the right order choices when you are selecting a pizza. Whichever you chose, go for a thin crust one. Thick and stuffed crust options are heavier and are a burden on your calorie chart. It is healthier to select whole wheat bread over white bread if the pizzeria offers the option. Do not load up on the cheese and cut on the extra cheese requests. Same goes for the side orders and the extra sauces. It is good to limit your portion size so that you enjoy your favourite meal without worries.
