    I like to be prepared, obsessively so, if you ask my friends. So one day I started looking up calorie counts of my favorite foods at resaurants and was shocked to see how much they are. I have a small note book now and when I have time, I look up lower calorie options and jot them down. Then when I'm at Taco Bell or Dairy Queen or wherever, I can look up quickly to see what my best choice is. Saves struggling over the nutrition chart and possibly ordering something I really want over something I know I should be having. It's not foolproof, but it helps. I think it's the refried beans at taco bell that kill you because the bean burritos are high in everything.....

    Try the taco salad without the beans, don't eat the shell and leave off the sour cream. its reasonable then.
