Eating Out Tips

• Curb portions: Always order for one if you are two people and if you are alone set aside some of what is on your plate to bring home.
• Resist refined carbohydrates.
• Load your plate with colorful choices at the salad bar with vegetables, fruits, and small amounts of lean protein. Skip the creamy dressings.
• Choose dishes that are grilled, roasted, steamed, or sautéed.
• Don’t be afraid to request a salad, vegetables, or fruit instead of starchy side dishes.
• In non–vegetarian food, order only fish or seafood.
• If you decide to have dessert, share it with your dining companion(s).
