Some people don’t like to venture
into the supermarket salad bars, but I say
take full advantage of them. They are a
great resource for single diners who may
have avoided fresh fruits and vegetables
they couldn’t use fast enough. Be sure to
skip the mayonnaise-based salads and
high-fat dressings, but load up on fresh
vegetables and fruits. You can even add
low-fat meat or favorite low-fat dressing
when you get home.
If you’re tired of eating alone, try
5.
getting together with a group of friends
on a regular basis by setting up dinner or
supper clubs. You can rotate homes and
have everyone host a themed potluck or
go out and try a new restaurant in your
town.
Another great way to prepare your
6.
meals in advance is to plan a day with
a friend who also enjoys cooking and
make a whole week’s worth of good
and healthy food that you can split.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to eat out
7.
and dine alone! There are many people
who enjoy dining and trying new foods
by themselves and you can be one of
them.
