Plan in advance what you want to eat at a restaurant or in a cafeteria so you won't be swayed by menu descriptions. Appetizers tend to be fried, creamy or cheesy--all of which add fat to your diet. Instead, choose a broth-based soup, fresh fruit cup or juice. For entrees, look for items that are grilled, steamed, poached or broiled; order them without butter or sauces. "Cajun" or "blackened" items are usually spicy and low in fat.
