If that meal you are ordering is described as glazed or crispy, you might want to reconsider. ..

According to Darya Pino Rose, author of “Foodlist,” menuspeak is tricky and you need to learn the language to avoid ordering healthy sounding foods that are packed with extra calories. Here is her list of menu words to avoid:


* Glazed, crispy, melted, smothered, breaded, creamy, honey-dipped, crusted, gooey, cheesy

Try ordering some of these words instead:

* Roasted, baked, broiled, rubbed, seared, grilled, steamed, sautéed, spiced, seasoned

Darya says if you stick to the second list, you’ll not only save yourself a ton of calories - you’ll also be avoiding inferior food that is smothered in junk to make up for lack of quality or taste.
