Mexican food can offer some healthy choices if you're prepared to forego the cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips. Try chicken or beef fajitas – at 200 calories each, they won't break the calorie bank. Bean burritos have up to 380 calories each, while tacos with meat, cheese and garnish have 250 calories each. Steer clear of the nachos – a large serving of nachos can have as much as a whopping 65 grams of fat. Guacamole brings the good fat of avocados, but calories as well, so keep your portion to one or two tablespoons.

If you're dining out Spanish-style, you could try a bowl of Gazpacho at a low 60 calories with no fat, a serving of Clams Marinara at 330 calories with 16 grams of fat, or how about Arroz Abanda (fish with rice) at 340 calories and 8 grams of fat? Keep your eye on the calories and the portion size of a paella – a large serving can have as many as 900 calories and 42 grams of fat. A homemade paella may be a better option than choosing paella when you're dining out.

And don't forget the calories from alcohol! A margarita has about 160 calories.
