Evernote to the Rescue

I have a notebook in Evernote with a separate note for each restaurant I visit and what the best options are for my diet plan in each. I don't write down the "best options" that I wouldn't like either - just what I'd actually order. With my smart phone, I have that custom reference to keep me on track.

MORE INFORMATION:
Having a plan is half the battle, having it HANDY is the other half.

Remember to ask G-d for help

When having trouble with following your healthy plans, remember to pray-even if all you ask for is the help to desire to follow your plans

Tracking Tip to Stay on Target

Enter all of the foods you think you will eat that day into the SparkPeople tracker as a snack making sure everything balances out and you're within your ranges for calories and nutrients. Then when you eat that food move it to the meal where you ate it and validate the quantity you ate.

MORE INFORMATION:
If you want something you didn't plan on having you will probably skip it - another option though is to compare what you want and didn't plan on having and see if you can make a reasonable substitution for it from the remaining foods you had planned on having but haven't had yet - then change it.
