While I was at Pizza Hut I picked up one of their nutritional charts. Now I want to tell you what I’ve found to help you with making a choice the next time you go to Pizza Hut. I found 9 different styles of pizza on their menu that are under 200 calories per slice. They all come from 12″ pies

Let’s face it, eating out is a lot of fun. Someone else does the cooking for you and someone else cleans up after you. The downside is that eating out can involve a lot of food and that means a lot of calories. You’re also more likely to eat foods higher in fat when you eat out.

Next time you eat out I want you to give this a try. Ask for a box. Before you even start eating your meal ask for a take home box. Put half your meal into the box right away to take home. Enjoy the other half. Now you’ll only eat half as many calories as you otherwise would have and you’ll still be quite satisfied.

Here’s the skinny on McDonalds . I for one love McDonalds, but you can’t eat there everyday, or can you. Let’s look at some of the lower calorie options you can get when you eat out at McDonalds.

A Big Mac is a whopping 540 calories and the Quarter Pounder with cheese is 510 calories. If you only want a McDonalds hamburger you’re still going to get 250 calories. That’s half as many calories as the bigger alternatives, but it still tastes good and is a much better option. Add cheese to that hamburger for another 50 calories. If you get the hamburger with an order of small fries then you’re going to add another 250 calories.

Other lower calorie options at McDonalds are:

- 4 piece Chicken McNuggets 170 calories, 6 piece 250 calories
- Ranch Snack Wrap (Grilled) 270 calories
- Honey Mustard Snack Wrap (Grilled) 260 calories
- Chipotle BBQ Snack Wrap (Grilled) 260 calories
- Premium Southwest Salad (without chicken) 140 calories, with grilled chicken 320 calories
- Premium Asian Salad (without chicken) 150 calories, with grilled chicken 300 calories
- Premium Bacon Ranch Salad (without chicken) 140 calories, with grilled chicken 260 calories
- Premium Caesar Salad (without chicken) 90 calories, with grilled chicken 220 calories
- Side Salad 20 calories
