Eating Out Guide

read this before you eat out.

Before you leave for or even book a restaurant:

  • Check out the menu online.
  • Look or ask if a ‘gluten free’ menu is available if you are gluten sensitive.
  • Drink 8oz of water before you leave home.
  • Eat something light before you go like a protein shake so that you are not starving when you get there!

Ordering at the Restaurant:

  • Always order sauce on the side
  • Choose a protein with 2 vegetables and a healthy fat
  • Stay away from bread
  • Change it up – if meat over pasta, ask for the same but over salad instead.
  • Add extra vegetables
  • If you are going to have a desert, share it with a friend
  • Ask for a starter portion instead of full
  • For breakfast, instead of potatoes, ask for sliced tomatoes or fruit
  • When you stop feeling hungry stop eating
  • Eat slowly take to your friends
  • Be the first to order not the last (set the trend of healthy choices, don’t follow the bad ones)
  • When everyone else has desert ask if they have a cheese board instead.

More Tips:

  • You can ask for steamed vegetables as a side (no butter)
  • You can order a grilled meats dry
  • Ask for a lettuce wrap instead of bread or a bun
