Dining out is a SNAP

Try the 'SNAP' strategy when dining out (for work-out days):

S - Split or share the meal
Restaurant meals are at least twice as much food as you need. Before you start eating ask to have your order split - half for now and half to go or with your dining partner.

N - Negotiate.
The menu says it comes with fries, but just pleasantly say, 'What other side can i substitute for the fries?' Fail to do this and half the time you will eat the fries

A - Abstain
When the rools are passed, keep passing. When the waiter asks, 'Did you save room for dessert?' pleasantly say, 'That food was so good it tasted like dessert.'

P - Plan
Nearly every meal and menu item of every chain restuarant in the country is on the internet, allow yourself to choose the best option beforehand.

i think SNAP only can apply to those who are forced to eat out or no choice..
coz most of the time when we choose to eat out rather cooking at home, we wanna enjoy the meal, if everytime i gotta think about using this to substitute that, i dun think i will enjoy the meal at all.
