With busy schedules, an active social life and unavoidable
huger cues, dining out is almost impossible to avoid. It is proven that
preparing meals at home leads to a healthier diet. However, by following some
simple tips eating healthily in a restaurant is entirely feasible as well. It
is acceptable to splurge and treat yourself on occasion, but it you are eating
out more than three times per week, here are some guidelines for helping you
make better choices…
Beverage: In order to avoid unnecessary sugar, ask for
water, milk, or unsweetened tea. One benefit of this change is that these
drinks are usually less expensive and sometimes free.
Dressing: Clarify that you want your dressing to come on the
side. This will allow you to use as much as you want instead of consuming the
entire serving.
Meat: Avoid anything with the title “fried”. The healthiest
way to prepare meat is by grilling, broiling, or steaming.
Treat Meals: If you are craving a giant burger and fries,
split it with a friend. Another strategy is taking a portion of the meal home
for leftovers.
Most importantly, do not be afraid to be assertive. Asking
the waiter to make alterations should not be something to fret about. Remember
that you are paying for their service and the meal should be as enjoyable as
you please.

I frequently use these strategies when I go out to eat and they are actually very manageable. Along with knowing you are being more healthy while following these so to say 'rules' you feel healthier and not so weighed down after eating out! Other than these four guidelines have you ever made a more extravagant request at a restaurant? If so was it a hassle or did the waiter easily accept your request?
