The objective for this lesson is that learners will identify three strategies for choosing the best menu options when eating in restaurants or cafeterias. Here are some strategies that can help you control your calorie intake when faced with vending machines or break room treats. 100 calorie bags of pretzels or nuts, instant oatmeal packets, low-calorie granola bars, and if you have access to a refrigerator, fat free yogurt, or low-fat string cheese, fresh fruit, these are all good options.

You might have a hard time sticking to your exercise plan, or you might struggle to keep your calorie intake down at celebrations or in restaurants. As time goes by when you're implementing your personalized weight loss program, you may want to choose some of those top 5 goals for change. How will you monitor your weight, your calorie intake, your food groups for good nutrition and your minutes of exercise?
