Dining Out Guide for the Health-Conscious Eater
Summary
Did you know the average restaurant meal packs in over 1,000 calories? That’s enough to derail any healthy eating plan. Luckily, with some smart strategies, you can enjoy dining out without compromising on taste or nutrition.Article
Eating out doesn’t have to sabotage your healthy lifestyle. Here are some simple tips to help you make better choices while still enjoying your meal.
1. Skip the Appetizer
Start smart by avoiding appetizers, which often contain more calories and fat than main courses. Many are fried and come with rich sauces, adding unwanted saturated and trans fats to your meal.2. Embrace Salads
Salads are your ally. They fill you up and provide beneficial antioxidants. Request no croutons or cheese to reduce calories, and opt for a vinaigrette instead of creamy dressings. Vinegar and olive oil are great, heart-healthy choices.3. Choose Your Entrée Wisely
Stick with broiled or grilled options rather than fried. You'll cut calories and avoid trans fats. Consider asking for double vegetables instead of starchy sides; most people fall short of the recommended 7?"9 daily servings of fruits and veggies. Opt for tomato-based sauces over creamy ones and request sauces on the side to control your intake.4. Rethink Your Drink
Skipping alcoholic beverages can significantly reduce your calorie count. Choose iced tea with a non-caloric sweetener, a diet soda, or water with lemon to keep things light.5. Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth Carefully
Many restaurants offer low-fat or low-carb desserts, like low-carb cheesecake, for a guilt-free treat. If healthier options aren’t available, a cup of coffee with skim milk can help satisfy your craving.6. Practice Portion Control
Restaurants often serve oversized portions. Consider setting aside half of your entrée at the beginning of the meal to take home. This helps prevent overeating and keeps your portions in check.By following these guidelines, you can enjoy dining out while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Your heart will thank you!
