WHEN DINING
OUT - KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR PLATE
Watching your calories while dining at a
restaurant can be as easy as asking your chef a few simple
questions:
How are the vegetables seasoned? Are they
salted? Is butter or margarine used?
Is the fish grilled, broiled, breaded or fried?
Is it cooked with butter, margarine of some other fat?
Is the soup broth or cream-based?
Can I substitute fruit or vegetables for my side
dish?
Dining out doesn't mean that your healthful
eating plan has to stay at home. Ask a few simple
questions and your meal can be as healthy as if you made it
yourself.
