The suggested step for a regular meal is to start with soup and then an entree, however, I can not get accustomed to it.

吃正餐应该是先喝汤再吃主菜会对身体比较好，但我很不习惯这样。

Start with soup Order a clear soup instead of a salad soaked with two tablespoons full-fat ranch and you can save twice the calories.

来一碗清汤要比一盘用2大勺油拌的色拉要少2倍的卡路里.汤除了让你感觉更饱以外还能使你在正餐时吃少一点.

You'll probably start the meal with soup, or something small as a 'starter', and then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then a dessert, followed by coffee.

晚饭一开始可能是汤，或者是如“开胃菜”这样的小菜，然后你会吃到搭配蔬菜的肉或鱼，之后是甜点，最后是咖啡。

There was Chamomile-smoked sunchoke soup with pickled dates and shiitakes to start.
