The right choices when Eating out

Chooseing healthier foods when eating out can be one of the most difficult things to do. it is easy to be tempted by the convenience of high fat fast foods.

You need to practice making a few minor revisions to the types of food you order and how they are prepared.

• choose dishes that are not fried or cooked in fat
• Choose boiled potatoes (ideally with the skins on) rather than fries
• Choose meals that have wholegrain foods or fresh vegitables included
• Always select wholemeal bread
• Avoid rich and creamy sauces
• order any dressings to be brought seperatly so that you can decide how much
• Avoid creamy deserts and cheeses
• Avoid the tempting pre-meal nibbles
• Don't feel that you have to have a pudding

Sandwhiches can make for a healthy, low fat meal when prepared on wholegrain buns smeared with a little mayo. go for the sliced ham or chicken breast versus the processed meat fillings then load it up with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, peppers and mustard.
