54 Order Foods Grilled Instead Of Fried Go for fish, steak, or some chicken that is grilled, not fried or drenched in sauce. Look for entrées that are blackened with a spice rub or marinated in a balsamic vinaigrette or a wine sauce. Those tend to be healthier than food served with cream or butter. Also, look for grilled meats served with a vegetable-based sauce such as salsa. Take A Pass When you see the words battered, fried, deep fried, buttered, sautéed, scalloped, crispy, Alfredo sauce, cheese sauce, thick sauce, creamed, rich, hollandaise, mayonnaise, gravy, au gratin, pan pastry, or en croute, then it usually means that the food is higher in fat and calories. Have Just One Piece Of Bread Most of us inhale the bread basket while waiting for our entrée. If you enjoy eating a good French or sourdough bread, then enjoy one piece at the table but just one, and go easy on the butter. Ask For Substitutions These days, most restaurants are very eager to please diet-conscious diners. So simply ask the wait-staff for substitutions. Request a side salad instead of fries. Or order your omelet with low-fat cheese and egg whites. Share Entrées Or Get Leftovers To Go Share an entrée with a friend. Waiters are happy to bring an extra plate. At many restaurants, they will even split the entrée onto two plates for you.

Try no-name or store-brand products. Cut down on meals with meats. Try some new veggie dishes. Get frozen juices. They are much cheaper than reconstituted ones. Avoid all frozen vegetables that are in butter. They are also twice the price. • • • • • • SOME FOOD FACTS We have all heard it from time to time. “You are eating that? Don’t you know what that does to you”? There is so much information flying around these days and everybody you meet seems to try and tell you what is wrong with your eating habits. Some Facts About A Few Popular Food Myths Myth: Eating at night is a road leading to obesity.

You’ll gain weight only if it adds excess calories to your daily intake that you don’t burn off. Myth: If it tastes good, it must be bad for me! Try extending milk with milk powder.
