Beware bacon, heaps of deli meat, fried chicken strips.
SWITCH TO: Three ounces of grilled chicken or tofu takes a salad from a side to a meal.
Croutons, tortilla strips, fried Asian noodles—these crunchies add major calories.
SWITCH TO: Broccoli, asparagus, carrots—yay vitamins!
A restaurant serving of ranch has more calories and fat than a McD’s cheeseburger.
SWITCH TO: Vinaigrette has almost half the cals of creamy.
Nuts are healthy but drown them in sugar? Downgrade!

Cheese adds dairy and protein but we tend to overdo it.
