Eating Out - Choose Wisely

Sugar and Carbs are Lurking. 

Beware! You can devour tons of sugar, carbs, and calories in just one sitting at a restaurant. Make healthier choices. 

• Order more greens and vibrant-colored veggies as your side
• Add a small salad at the beginning to fill you up
• Order a scrumptious soup
• Ditch the bread 
• Eat baked, broiled, or grilled fish or chicken
• Add fruit
• Drink water 
• Order something with beans (beans filled with fiber and nutrients) 

Eating out seems to be the trend. No one cooks anymore. We need to cook more REAL food and eat out less. Make it your goal.
