True delicatessens provide challenges for dieters, but menus are flexible, so this is one type of restaurant where you can exercise your calorie-smart creativity. If you are on a diet, go to lunch with a friend, split a sandwich, and order an extra roll or bread to make two sandwiches out of the meat in one.

If you’re by yourself, order half a sandwich and extra bread and create two sandwiches for the price of one — taking one home for later, of course. Most restaurants that serve sandwiches also have soup. Order a bowl of a soup made without cream and eat it with an unbuttered roll, and you have a lower-calorie meal.

Baked or boiled ham
Beet salad
Whole-grain bread
Carrot and raisin salad
Extra tomato, lettuce, and veggies for sandwiches
