Takeout Tips
What to watch out for
1. Good things come in small packages.
Unfortunately, most delivery food comes in large packages. It's rare that you can get someone to bring you one or two slices of pizza. You usually get the whole pie. And Chinese and Thai food come in those top-heavy tapered white boxes, so while it may seem you've only eaten half a container, you've actually gone through most of it. Before you dig in to your freshly arrived repast, get a plate from your kitchen. (Come on, someone else cooked the dinner, you can wash one plate!) Put a serving on your plate and put the rest in the fridge for another time. By removing the extra food, you'll significantly reduce the chances that you'll power-eat your way through two or three meals worth of calories straight out of the container.
2. Don't eat the "minimum".
One problem with delivery, especially for single people, is that there's usually a $10-12 minimum for delivery. Don't be lured into loading up your order with fatty appetizers or extra desserts just to ensure free delivery. Order two regular-size entrees, and put one in the fridge for tomorrow's lunch or dinner. You'll save money by not ordering takeout two nights in a row, and that's also two nights in a row you don't have to cook. You win!

Law #6: Just Eat!
The multitasking insanity of our lives creates a culture of convenience. Just look at the array of foods-including snack chips and even soup-packaged in containers that fit neatly into car cup holders. This may make the next piece of advice a little hard to take, but: Whenever you eat, that should be all you do. We simply eat too much when we don't focus on our food. In a 2001 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, women ate about 50 calories more at lunch when they listened to a book on tape than when they ate alone with no distraction. A Finnish study found that only 20 percent of subjects ate because they were hungry; some noshed to have something to do while reading or watching TV.
MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU: Be done with it. It's hard enough to know when to stop eating-it takes 15min after you've eaten for your brain to register fullness. But it's even harder when you're stuck in traffic with a bag of potato chips. Instead of cleaning out the bag, rate your hunger. At 0 you're ravenous; at 10 you've hit the post-Thanksgiving balloon phase. Eat slowly and give your body enough time to digest before deciding you're only at 3. You*re "done" when you hit 5 or 6.
