Tips for Healthy Restaurant Eating

inspirefitness:

  • Avoid anything “lightly breaded” or “golden crusted”. It’s just a nice way of saying “deep fried in fat”
  • Seek out options that are grilled, baked, broiled or steamed
  • Pick your indulgence. If you have some bread with butter, don’t have fries with your meal. If you have some wine/beer, try not to get dessert. Pick 1 or 2 things to splurge on and you’ll avoid overeating and still feel satisfied
  • Most restaurants are now required to list nutritional/caloric information. Pay close attention and stay away from any dish that tops 600 calories.
  • When ordering, request that the chef goes light on the oil/butter
  • Order an appetizer and a side salad instead of a main entree. It’ll help with portion control
  • Forget ordering soda. Water is free, has no calories, and fills you up, preventing overeating
  • Eat slowly. It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to send a “I’m full” signal to the brain. Take it slow, and enjoy your food instead of wolfing it down
  • Split that dessert with friends. A couple of bites is all you really need. Or even better, order a mini-dessert that many restaurants now offer and keep it under 300 calories
  • Check out this book: Eat This Not That! for tips on how to order healthy at all your favorite sit-down and fast food joints
  • Stay strong! Just because everyone around you is ordering unhealthy dishes doesn’t mean you have to. Make a plan and stick to it.
