When I shop, I look at the calorie content of what I'm buying, taking in account their serving size. If the calories are just absurd, then I don't buy it and try to find a better alternative. When I eat out, I try to pick low calorie items and watch my portion size, if a fruit or veggie side is available, I'll choose that. I also pick up fruits and veggies and after washing and cutting up, put them in baggies for easy access. I'm lazy and when I'm in the mood for a snack, it's got to be available or I'm at risk of making a bad choice.
