Tips for eating out
With our busy lifestyles you don't always get the opportunity to prepare your own food, so making the right choices when eating out can make a difference to keeping your health on track.
Here are some tips from the HYH team:
- Fill up on salads and vegetables as an entrée to avoid eating too much of the bad things
- Choose tomato based sauces, instead of creamy pasta varieties
- Remember it's OK to ask how food is cooked or ask for sauce on the side
- If you are traveling and have limited access to wholesome food choices, then even major take-away food chains have low fat and healthier alternatives on the menu
- Try and avoid being too hungry when you head out for a meal, as you may over-eat
