Research found in the Journal of Public Policy&Marketing explained that compared to ordering à la carte, the average order picks up a hundred (or more) extra calories when you opt for the “combo” or “value meal.” Why? Because when you go for the dish that’s 2-in-1, chances are you’re getting more food than you actually need. You’re better off ordering yourself a single dish. That way you won’t be influenced by pricing schemes designed to hustle a few more cents out of your pocket.
Eat This! Tip:
Stay fresh and stay simple. Choose one meal, and stick to it. When it comes to watching your figure less is always more.
