1. Order Dairy Queen reduced-fat soft serve ice cream at 35 calories per ounce or a Dairy Queen fudge/vanilla orange bar at 50 to 60 calories per bar, which are both no-fat and no sugar added. These options will satisfy your sweet tooth without making you regret it later.
2. Exchange your French fries for a salad when ordering a meal. Most locations also offer fat-free salad dressing options, such as fat-free Italian dressing.
