Avoid Decision Fatigue at Restaurants: Have Friends Order Your Food

Even if you aren't on a diet, you might have trouble picking out food to order at a restaurant. You've got so many choices. If you're dining with friends, let someone else make the decision for you.

Over at Science of Us, sometimes you might let your friends pick what to eat:

I started doing that when I learned that agonizing over decisions can be stressful. And in the restaurant scenario, the consequences of what you eventually choose are not that different from a different option you might have chosen.It's never backfired — I always select people who I believe have my best interests at heart, and who know I need lots of protein. I don't really ever dine alone, but I do often ask the staff for their recommendations.

This tip not only reduced decision fatigue that zaps your willpower but lets your friend keep you accountable for your healthy eating choices.
