A few posts back I covered eating smart at fast food joints, but what about other restaurants? Many restaurants are starting to get smart about their menus by offering half sized portions or health conscious sections. However, very few if any, will give you the nutrition information you're looking for when making a decision on what you put into your stomach.When we cook at home, we have full control over what goes into our food. A pinch of oil instead of a half a stick of butter, the trim on meat, the quality of the vegetables. However, this link on the American Heart Association site offers an expansive guide to mastering eating out without taking too much in.
The site covers 15 different types of restaurants, with an elaborate guide within each to what to look out for and what you can make replacements with. Housing a variety of helpful information from such a credible source, I urge you to check this page out, even bookmark it for when you are ready to hit the local eateries next.
