41. When ordering Chinese, you stick to chicken: It’s low-fat.
It’s not necessarily what you eat, but how much and how it’s prepared. Any chinese dish can be drenched in an oily sauce. Order the entree steamed, with the sauce on the side.

42. You count only calories.
For 150 calories, you can have three rice cakes (no nutritional value) or one cup of yogurt and an apple (loaded with calcium and fiber). If you stick to low-fat, high-fiber, colorful foods, you’ll automatically consume a low-calorie diet.

43. You won’t eat carbohydrates and protein in the same meal.
The enormous effort required to keep your food separate is wasted. There’s absolutely no science to prove that consuming carbs and protein at different times makes your body use up more calories, says nutrition programs manager for Town Sports International.

44. You write in your food diary only at the end of the day.
The longer you wait, the more likely you are to under report and “forget” what you’ve eaten (like the Girl Scout cookies your coworker gave you or the handful of trench fries from your kid’s Happy Meal). Record what goes in your mouth right after you eat it.
