Keep control of your calories when you're out

Make a pick & mix menu of standby snacks and always choose something to have in your bag when you're out. Research online menus for restaurants and coffee shops for nutritional information. Read labels on take away salads or sandwiches. Build a list of safe choices so that you can stay in control.

MORE INFORMATION:
Taking home-prepared food is not always possible, but dangers lurk in take away salads and sandwiches that aren't always as obvious as those in burgers and fries.
