Hi all! I thought you might enjoy my buffet rules. These rules help me enjoy buffets without over doing the calories!
1. I always start with a salad and low cal dressing.
2. I can go up to the buffet as often as I want but half the food on my plate has to be veggies.
3. None of my food can touch. This avoids over loading the plate.
4. I never put more than two tablespoons of any one food on my plate and one time. If I want more of a food, I will have to go up a second time.
5. Only have one small pc. of bread and a little butter.
6. Start with a fruit dessert when have only a month full or two of the rich desserts.
7. Only use a tiny bit of sauces and gravy.
8. When the server is cutting meat, I ask for a child's portion.
I usually go up to the food about 7-8 times. I take my time and really pick things I want to eat. I never leave like I want to be sick because I ate too much. I don't feel like I over did it. I enjoy food! S
