Eat Healthy At Mainstream Restaurants

icon1 Posted by Mikai in Off the Cuff, Uncategorized on 09 15th, 2009 | no responses

The chances are, you might find yourself in a corporate restaurant chain from time to time. No matter if these are take out fast or sit down and enjoy style restaurants, it can be difficult to eat healthy when visiting these places. Rest assured it is still possible / if you can resist temptation. There are many things to order at these mainstream eateries that are riddled with greasy fatty ingredients, but you don't have to eat them.
some places have healthier appetizers. A big salad is always a healthy choice. You can munch on these healthier menu items in lieu of the fattier foods offered.
Stay away from red meats, deep fried food, and things that are full of and/or covered in cheese. Battered and fried cheese sticks are not good, for instance if you're eating healthy. Alternatively you might choose leaner meats such as chicken or fish and get them grilled instead of fried.
Grilling is much better for your heart as opposed to frying because they don't retain any grease. Baked fish and chicken are also good options.
If the only choice is eating a fried dish, order pan fried rather than deep fried because the longer it soaks in grease the unhealtier it is. In addition to ordering lean meats, also make sure to eat lots of greens and vegetables. Fresh might not be an option, . As a side ask for salad instead of fried potatoes and take a close look at the information when it comes to which meals are 'lean' or 'calorie reduced'. some places even have heart healthy menus so go for it if it looks healthy but always trust your gut. Just because the menu says its healthy doesnt mean it is Most of the time they are, but there might be better options that are healthier or just as healthy and better suited to what you like.
The next time you eat at Argentos Pizza & Family Restaurant try the chicken salad.
