american restaurants


Restaurants serving American cuisine often serve large portions, so be aware of how the portion you get compares with your target calories and fat grams. You can order a smaller portion, or put half of your meal in a doggie bag. Ask the server if cooking grease is added to the grill. If so, order your food broiled, instead of grilled, to avoid excess calories and fat.
