Dividing Restaurant Meals

[SageMother]

I have always had wait staff bring a take out box to the table in restaurants because the portions are usually large enough to split the meal into several.

Eating a few bites to taste the food, then boxing it and getting two more meals or at least partial meals, out of it is a great way to stay on your diet plan.

What tricks have you employed when dealing with restaurant meals while trying to stick to a weightloss plan??
