Is Healthy Eating Ruining Your Diet?

Studies have shown that eating at restaurants like Subway, Panera Bread and Jamba Juice can ruin your diet.  Why?  Experts say that people mistakenly think that healthy food has 1/2 the calories than they really do.  They mistakenly believe that healthy food is less fattening, but in many cases that may not be the truth. 

Thinking that we are saving calories by eating healthy we splurge on chips, bread and dessert which means eating a lot more calories than if eating regular foods.  Or we may eat much larger portions.

How to prevent this from happening?  Check the calorie counts on restaurant web sites or menus before splurging.

Do you agree with this study?  Do you have that tendency to splurge when eating so called healthy foods?  How do you prevent yourself from spoiling your diet when eating out?  Please share.
