Here is a quick hitter from the March 2007 Shape Magazine.How Eating Out Adds Up
Restaurant dining can derail weight loss even if you choose carefully, avoid fast food, and skip dessert. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin found that women consumed about 250 more calories when they ate out. Doing that three times a week can pack on 10-plus pounds a year, says study author Gayle M.Timmerman, Ph.D. "Blame large portions," she says. "You'll probably eat less if you order two appetizers, like sushi and a salad, instead of an entree".
