Dine out the healthy way
(HealthDay News) -- Decadent dishes and hefty portion sizes can be tempting at a restaurant, but you can enjoy your meal without derailing a healthy diet.
Follow these suggestions to make healthy choices when dining out:
- Opt for an entree salad or other healthy dish that includes something from each of the main food groups.
- If choosing a sandwich, top it with fresh vegetables and low-fat condiments or salad dressings.
- Choose healthy side dishes, such as a baked potato topped with vegetables, a side salad, or some fruit. Skip the fries.
- Choose low-calorie dishes.
- Eat only a portion of your meal, saving the rest for later.
