Dining Out with Healthy Eating in Mind
Eating in a restaurant is often seen as a special time, a chance to indulge yourself. But you can enjoy a meal in virtually any restaurant and still keep healthful eating in mind.
Look for menu items that include terms like:
Baked
Braised
Broiled
Grilled
Poached
Roasted
Steamed
Stir-fried.
And don't hesitate to ask your server or the chef how meals are prepared. Many restaurants will accommodate your request to prepare foods to your liking. Restaurant portions are often larger than serving sizes you prepare at home, so don't feel that you have to eat the whole thing “ ask for a takeout container to enjoy the rest tomorrow.
Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral.
~John Burroughs
Alfalfa sprouts and feta cheese contain bacteria that could be harmful to small children and pregnant women.
