I love this tip!!! Very good idea!!! I've actually started ordering from kids menus at restaurants and it's shocking how much food they serve. It is PLENTY. My only social activities are meeting friends for dinner, so if I can't find something healthy, I at least order a kid's portion. i may have mentioned this before, but i also ask for a box before i start eating. that way i can put part of it away before i start. sometimes before i go out, i eat an apple so i'm not starving when i get there. at ww, they say that you should drink a whole glass of water once the food arrives, but before you start eating.

I'm not sure why I got so dizzy the other day. I still didn't even feel right the entire next day either, so I didn't work out. I'm planning on taking today off too. I have some knee problems and it's been acting up since that class, so I really think I pushed myself WAY too hard...
i agree w/ peanut butter before working out, and i can eat it in large portions at any time...which is why i stick to cucumbers and hummus when i get home. it tides me over until dinner. there's a bit of protein in the hummus and water in the cukes.
btw, a lot of chain restaurants have their info published online, and at food facts.com
