Be Restaurant-Savvy
Make it your goal to stay on track with your meal plan when you dine out. Huge servings, cheesy appetizers, decadent chocolate desserts: Food options at many restaurants can make it challenging to eat healthy. Follow these guidelines to stay on track when you eat out:
  • Ask for dressing and sauces on the side.Choose veggies or fruit, not fries or potatoes, as a side dish.
  • Turn down the buffet.
  • Stop when you're full, not when the plate is clean.

Be bold and order a dish that's not featured on the menu. A simple meal of grilled chicken, sautéed veggies, and a green salad is easy for most restaurants to prepare.
