Portions and Ingredients

• When preparing or ordering a salad, find the
  right balance of ingredients, and keep portion
  size in check. Good intentions can be easily be
  cancelled out by eating too much of a good thing,
  like salad dressing or crumbled cheese. 
• Ask for dressing on the side so you can control
  the amount you consume. Look for salads that are
  high in protein, high in veggies, and moderate in
  healthy fats.
