One question I've gotten a lot recently is from peoplen who want to eat healthy and want to stay on track with their fitness goals... but have NO Idea how to ORDER at a RESTAURANT!
Navigating healthy eating at restaurants doesn't have to be confusing. Here are a few fat loss insights for you when you're eating out this weekend:
1. When ordering foods look for high fat low carb meals or low fat high carb meals. Obviously the best is high fiber protein meals. What you want to avoid is high carb and high fat meals.
2. When stuck eating high fat foods, completely avoid the intake of alcohol or starch/sugar with them. Fat, while calorically dense is hormonally neutral as far as fat storage. Both starch/sugar and alcohol will turn fat against you.
3. And a super simple tip: Always order salads instead of sandwiches.
Here are my go-to meals for ANY restaurant:
- Mexican= burrito bowls limit to 5 bites of rice/beans and skip the chips (a high fat high carb food)
- Chinese= Chicken veggie stir fry. Sauce on the side
- Italian= Large Italian salad with chicken. Vinegar based dressings.
- Burger joint = Burger salad (throw the bun away)
- Sandwich place= Sandwich becomes salad (toss the bread)
- Ideal lunch= grilled chicken and vegetables.
- Ideal dessert= mixed fruit bowl with dollop of whip cream
