You鈥檙e on the treadmill, and the phone rings. It鈥檚 a good friend whom you haven鈥檛 seen in a while, and she wants to know if you鈥檇 like to meet with her for dinner at a restaurant one night this week. Little does she know you鈥檝e been hard at work, trying to lose weight in time for swimsuit season. You鈥檝e been making wiser food choices, and not only have you felt great since you鈥檝e been eating healthier; you鈥檝e actually turned the habit into your new lifestyle. After having made so much progress, the thought of going out to eat at a restaurant actually scares you.
It doesn鈥檛 have to be that way, though. Eating healthy when dining out is actually quite simple when you know what food items to choose and which ones to avoid. The following tips can help you stay on track, even when going out to eat:
- If you're not very hungry or would like to plan on eating less, try ordering a couple of small appetizers or an appetizer and a salad as your meal instead of an entree.
- When eating a salad, always order dressings on the side. This way you鈥檙e in control of how much dressing goes on it. You may even want to consider a little salt & pepper on your salad instead of dressing. Give it a try. You may be pleasantly surprised!
- Always choose water, diet soda, or tea instead of regular sodas or alcoholic beverages, as the latter are high in calories and sugar.
- Soups make great appetizers (as most are fairly low in calories), but when choosing a soup keep in mind that soups with a cream base are higher in calories and fat.
- Look for foods that are grilled, broiled, baked, poached, or steamed. These cooking methods use less fats and oils and are generally much lower in calories.
- Grilled fish and vegetables are very healthy choices. You can go one step further and request that the food be grilled without butte[1] [2] [3] 下一页
