Tips for Healthier Meals When Ordering Out

We all know that it can be hard to make a nice home-cooked meal every night of the week, but it can be scary trying to stay healthy when ordering takeout. Here are a few things to consider when ordering to save you extra calories and make your meal more nutritious. Be mindful of the words “crunchy,” “crispy,” or “battered,” these all indicate extra fat and calories that aren’t necessary, instead, look for words such as “baked,” “roasted,” or “grilled” to ensure a more nutritious meal. Instead of a fried side-dish, consider steamed veggies or fruit. If your meal or side comes with dressing, ask about getting the sauce or dressing on the side, so you know how much you’re actually eating.  Your drink can have a lot of added sugar in it too, water or unsweetened drinks can be a better alternative. It’s okay to eat out, but just remember the hidden and extra unhealthy factors that could be in your meal.
