Eating Healthy While Dining Out
Dining out is fun, but choosing the right foods is often challenging when you’re trying to eat healthy. While most people can make nutritious choices when eating at home, it’s easy to let healthy eating habits slide when dining out and order items that are high in fat, calories, sodium and cholesterol. And it doesn’t help that many dishes offered at restaurants are prepared in a manner that makes them even higher in fat and calories than the same dish would be if it were prepared at home.
