How we eat while not getting fat & saving money

Since I turned 40 & started gaining a little weight we have modified our food habits. Some of the things we do are the following: When we go to a place like McDonald's we'll get a big Angus burger and split it between two people. At burger king we'll get Whopper Jr's instead of Whopper's. At Chinese restaurant's we split one dish between two people. I follow somewhat of the Atkins diet, a little less carbohydrates and a little more fat. It’s all common sense, but I guess it isn’t so common. So splitting the food keeps us thin, actually average (not fat), and saves money!
