 Instead of the burger choose a salad topped with chicken breast and dressing on the side or a smaller burger (4 oz or less).
 Instead of large fries, choose a small baked potato or a piece of fruit.
 Instead of a 24-oz cola, choose an 8-oz serving of low-fat milk, a 20-oz bottle of water, or a diet cola.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
 Share large portions with others.
 Avoid buying high-calorie foods that are difficult to consume in moderation.
 Don't skip meals, especially breakfast.
 Fill your plate with vegetables alongside higher calorie foods to feel fuller.
 If you crave a snack, reach for foods high in bulk to keep you fuller longer.
