By James Spann


Strict nutrition philosophies are not all about healthy eating or denying yourself food you love. Rather, it is having extra energy, being in good mood as well as keeping yourself healthy. All can be attained by learning nutrition basics while using them in the appropriate way. Eating healthy and eating out at a restaurant are hardly complementary activities. Most people refer to eating out as the main reason for unhealthy lifestyle. However, with a bit of preparation and knowledge, one can make a restaurant meal from a feared one to a healthy choice. Below are tips on how to eat healthy while eating out and if followed properly, can be of great help to you.

Be the first in making an order. When friends or colleagues make orders first, individuals are confused of whether their takes are better hence end up falling for the already made orders. This affects ladies in most cases as they prefer taking what their friends opt for. Therefore, if you take an order and it is healthy, it opens up the door for others to enjoy a healthy meal too. A restaurant where one can meet friends and workmates is preferred.

Red flags. Whenever you sit down ready to make an order, examine the menu for red flags. This will help to identify foods with high calories: crispy, breaded, fried, creamy or smothered. Rather, opt for steamed, grilled or even broiled foods. This combination is with no doubt going to be healthy.

Tailor the meal. You should never be afraid to ask for changes in the menu by the server. For instance you can opt for steamed vegetables to French fries. In case your order entail sauce loaded with calories, it is wise to ask it be brought separately or on the side. Through that, you will eat less of it. Dressing salad should be incorporated to the order as it is healthy.

Salad and soup. The use of salad and soup reduces overeating. Anyone who takes broth-based soup or veggies salad will eventually consume less calories during meal taking, this is as a result of the research conducted on individuals.

Portion control. Sticking to the right target comes about by having a know-how of judging the right portion to sustain you. The advisable portion should be of your fist in size. The meat should not be more than the palm of your hand. An appetizer is preferred to entree.

Rethink what drink to take. Most people do not take caution on the calories present in the drinks we order. Whether it is glass of tea or alcoholic beverage individuals are not concerned with the content. For instance in sweetened tea, can get 200 to 250 calories. Water in this case is preferred as well as a glass of wine. The water fills us up hence consuming less alcohol.

Coping with such a diet is not easy because one has to avoid most of favorite meals. It is more challenging when people go to a hotel and have to hold on to certain cravings. It takes a lot of sacrifice to keep off from certain orders. Therefore, maintain healthy eating habits calls for a lot of sacrifice.
