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.
