When we are dieting and eat out often we usually
watch what we eat. The following Tips will assist you
with your calorie watching when eating out, helping
you make the most of it and be able to enjoy your
meal as well.
When having a Salad:
- Always ask to have the salad dressing or sauce on the side,
this way you can control how much you add to your salad.
Don’t cover the salad with too much dressing — just
enough to still see the greens.
When having Fish or Vegetables:
- You should ask that the food be grilled without
butter or oil, or prepared with not too much of either.
When having Pasta Dishes:
- Try to use tomato based sauces instead of the
cream based
sauces like alfredo sauce. Tomato based sauces are
much lower in fat and calories, and tomato sauce
can even be counted as a vegetable!
You can always ask for a little oil instead.
When having Soup:
- Avoid cream based soups because they are higher
in fat and calories than other soups. A soup can
be a great appetizer, as most are low in calories
and you fill you up pretty fast, and eating less
when getting your main meal. You should ask for a
vegetable soup instead.
When having Baked Potato:
- Have salsa instead of sour cream, butter, cheese,
or even bacon. Salsa is very low in calories and
provides a healthy alternative with plenty of flavor
and seasoning.
When having some Dessert:
- You can always pass dessert but if the urge for some
sugar is there then it is recommended you carry some
low calorie snack bar with you or you can share a dessert
with a friend. Half of the dessert will equal half of the calories.
What to Drink:
- You should always try to drink water (most recommended),
diet soda, or tea instead of soda or beverages that contain
alcohol.
- When you are full, stop eating. Don’t eat more just
because you feel sorry that some food is left over. You
can always take half of your meal home. The second portion
of your meal can serve as a second meal later. This way,
you get two meals for the price of one.
- Most restaurants have food that is grilled or baked.
Always look for food on the menu that’s baked,
grilled, broiled, poached, or steamed. These types
of cooking use less fat in the cooking process and
are usually much lower in calories.
- Try to choose dishes with fruits and vegetables.
These are great sources of dietary fiber as well as
many vitamins and minerals.
- If you are going to eat bread or rice then ask for whole
grains, such as whole wheat bread and dishes made
with brown rice.
- Always remember not to deprive yourself of the
foods you truly love. All types of foods can fit
into a well balanced diet.
