Think Like a Pro: 10 Diet and Exercise Tips From Athletes

You don't have to avoid your favorite restaurants if you're trying to transform your body into tip-top shape, but you do have to do a little strategic prep before you order. Cara recently told us her secrets for restaurant eating; for one, always have a snack, like a salad, a piece of toast with nut butter, or yogurt and granola, before you go so you're not starving when you get to the restaurant. And once you're at the restaurant, "drink a glass of water as soon as you sit down; drink the whole entire glass. Don't order appetizers, but if you have to make it protein-based," Cara recommends.
