My friend already bought ingredients and wants to make fettuccine Alfredo with me tonight. I want to cook with her but even if I eat dinner before I go I might eat some of it. Any tips for me?

    maybe bring a salad to go with it? you can have a little alfredo but eat mostly the salad! you may want to try and bring veggies to throw into the pasta as well? if she doesn't have noodles yet or you want, you can also bring whole wheat noodles to make not as terrible! LOL but if you end indulging, its ok too! just move past it and eat better your next meal!

    Don't eat before you go. Are the rest of us invited too?

    If you feed your friends whole wheat noodles, you may lose a few

    If it's not too late, ask if you guys can make a lower calorie version. If you google a recipe, you'll find one easily. It's an easy recipe, and still can taste really good!

    Otherwise, I think eating something healthy before you go, like fruit, will help. Fill up a little bit ahead of time and you won't be able to eat as much of it. And bringing a salad is a great idea!

    Thanks everyone! I did ended up eating some pasta but it was a small portion, and we had tons of veggies with it. And it was delicious so it was worth it :D
