🍽️ Turning to takeout is a faster solution, but restaurant meals can derail a healthy eating plan. Here are some tips to make healthier choices:

💻 Check online. Some menus have symbols or designations to let you know which options are healthier. Or you can look for nutritional information (if provided) on the restaurant’s website.

😀 Speak up! If you don’t understand a menu item or want to learn more about a dish and how it’s prepared, ask the restaurant staff. Ask for substitutions or ways to customize the dish so it’s exactly what you want.

✅ Eat half now, save half later. Portion size too big? Try saving half of your food for another meal.

👉 Order sauces and toppings on the side. When in doubt, ask for dressings and sauces on the side. You’ll control how much you add to your food.

After a long and busy day.
