I also cut out drinks like sodas and alcohol when I eat out, and just go for water instead. Great article, thanks for sharing!

I have been a big fan of mexican food my entire life, but this place is on a whole 'nother level, and it's for the reasons you mentioned about... it's REAL food. I think that your advice about not cleaning your plate is a good one, and it's advice that we all need to remember. You can ALWAYS take food home, and it usually tastes awesome the next day heated up. So if you have stuff like fries that don't microwave well, finish those first! But never eat more than you want just because you have some weird need to eat everything on your plate. This is just bad. Bad for your health, bad for your disposition, and bad for your wallet, because that's food you could have had the next day for lunch. Hi Darya,

Your post reminded me of a tiny little place we have in Cape Girardeau, MO called “Muy Bueno”. I have been a big fan of mexican food my entire life, but this place is on a whole ‘nother level, and it’s for the reasons you mentioned about… it’s REAL food.

I make an effort to do pretty much all of these things - especially when it comes to ordering vegetables. Such an easy way to make your meal out healthier without feeling like you're missing out. I also try to leave leftovers for lunch or something the next day. Saving it for another meal helps me from eating more than I usually want anyway. Your tips ring so true.

We don't so I usually cook. One place we like to get a good meal is at the grill in the back of Whole Foods. The chef is great, the food is made right in front of us and we usually order seafood, which is selected right behind us. Cost is about $15. It's our little secret for eating out. We can ask for whatever veg or fish we want. In other places, sharing or being committed to bringing half home and not eating the bread is one way to stay healthy. We also look for items like seared tuna, sushi, things we're not as apt to cook at home. NEVER pasta or pizza, I can do that at home. I wish we had better “neighborhood” affordable restaurants here.
