When Dining Out........

Beware these high-fat menu buzz words: 

- Cream sauce
- butter
- oil
- au gratin
- breaded
- Alfredo
-battered or batter-dipped
- "with gravy,"
- smothered 

Unless you've spared yourself treats for several days and snacked on salad greens all day, these little "extras" aren't worth the extra calories.
