DON'T KNOW WHAT TO ORDER WHEN EATING OUT?

Not sure what to order when eating out at a restaurant? Here are a few pointers that'll help you keep on track.
Have a look at the menu on-line if it's a chain restaurant, stick with simple; baked, grilled, roasted, tomato based sauces to start, skip the appetizer and dessert, dressing on the side and don't eat everything on your plate!
Deciding what you're going to order beforehand can make things very simple when you go out. The on-line menu will show you the calories and amount of fat in each item, which is important. For example a slice of deluxe pizza regular crust extra cheese can run you a whopping 450 calories and 45% fat, where a single serving of pasta (1.5 cups) and tomato sauce is only 300 calories and less than 20% fat.
Stay away from fried, battered, butter and cream sauces as they add tonnes of extra fat calories. Opt for grilled, baked, roasted chicken and order steamed vegetables. Lots of flavor and healthy too!
As for the salad dressing?? Nothing good about it...all fat! Ahhh...can I get a little salad with my dressing? If you order it on the side you can drizzle some on for flavor rather than killing it. That'll give you more flavor without all the extra fat and calories.
Understand too that restaurants often serve double or even triple the portions you need So don't clear your plate or be afraid to take some home for a healthy lunch the next day.
And if you really have to have those deep fried honey garlic chicken wings, split them with someone and just have one or two.
Even if you use just one of these pointers you'll be one step closer in learning to make healthier choices...your body will thank you for it!
