How To Eat Healthy At A Restaurant?

Tips for eating healthy in restaurants-
# Make careful menu selections – First of all order vegetable soups.Pay attention to the descriptions on the menu. Dishes labeled deep-fried, pan-fried, basted, batter-dipped, breaded, creamy, crispy, or in cream sauce are usually high in calories, unhealthy fats or sodium. Order items with more vegetables and choose lean meats.
# Drink water with your meal. Don't take Soda as it is a huge source of hidden calories.Try adding a little lemon to your water or ordering unsweetened iced tea.
# Avoid dressings on your food. When choosing items, be aware of calorie- and fat-packed salad dressings, spreads, cheese, sour cream, etc. For example, ask for a grilled chicken sandwich without the mayonnaise. You can ask for a packet of ketchup or mustard and add it yourself, controlling how much you put on your sandwich.
# Special order- Many menu items would be healthy if it weren't for the way they were prepared. Ask for your vegetables and main dishes to be served without the sauces. Ask for olive oil and vinegar for your salads or order the dressing "on the side" and spoon only a small amount on at a time. If your food is fried or cooked in oil or butter, ask to have it broiled or steamed.
# Eat mindfully. Pay attention to what you eat and savor each bite. Chew your food more thoroughly and avoid eating on the run. Being mindful also means stopping before you are full. It takes time for our bodies to register that we have eaten. Mindful eating relaxes you, so you digest better, and makes you feel more satisfied.
All these things will help to eat healthy food in restaurant.
