Eating Healthy When Eating Out
Eating healthy when you are eating in a restaurant can be very hard. The portion sizes in restaurants are very large. Many of the foods are fried. The size of one serving of a dessert is huge. Believe it or not, there are things that you can do to help you eat healthier when away from home.
When you order a salad, you should order the dressing on the side. This gives you control over how much dressing is on your salad. You can put on a lot or a little.
Another way to cut out some calories is to order water to drink. Regular sodas, lemonade, and other sweet drinks have many calories and a lot of sugar in them. Ordering water saves you at least one hundred calories before you even start eating, and sugar is not good for your body.
If you want to order an appetizer before eating, see if a friend will share it with you. Sharing it means each of you will eat fewer calories. Or you could order a salad instead of something that is fried.
