If you’re a parent like me, then you know your kids like the fast food chains like Burger King, Wendy’s, McDonalds’s etc…

So when you smell those french fries in a vehicle with the windows shut, it’s like getting hit with a sledgehammer of temptation.

Me, I am always the driver so I always get the bags of food handed to me first, and invariably I grab a small handful of fries as they’re on the way to the back seats…

If the kids don’t finish their french fries, that’s like a bonus for me since I rationalize that I “can’t let good good go to waste” and eat more french fries.

Sometimes, I am as hungry as the kids are and try to eat a salad instead of a burger and fires at the take out fast food places…

However, the temptation is usually too great for me, I really don’t like eating salads because it’s a lot of chewing and I’m always still hungry afterward.

So, if temptation is too much what I like to do is order a kids meal instead of a regular-sized adult meal, and I don’t just do this at the major fast food chains, I do this at restaurants, too.

Some people say that you can trick yourself into thinking you ate more by using smaller plates and that’s a decent method to try, but what I like doing is ordering kids meals wherever and whenever I can.

The fact is, at most restaurants the food portions are more than would be recommended by a dietician or someone who’s calorie shifting diet precludes a certain meal from being eaten.

Since the adult portions are usually more than necessary for a per-meal requirement, the kids meal is sufficient, especially if you’re eating the bread and the rolls and the apetizers that come before, during, and with the main entrees.

Point being, this is another method I used for calorie shifting and it works, but the best thing about doing things this way (eating kid’s meals) is there’s no battle with temptation and that’s what causes most people to quit any new diets, even a calorie shifting diet.
