EATING WELL WHEN EATING OUT
Fruit & Veg Focus
Often meals out are short on veggies. Here are some helpful tips to get
more veggies in when eating out.
• Ask your server to bring a veggie and dip platter to share before the
beverage order is taken and the bread arrives.
• Start the meal with a vegetable-based salad or soup.
• Ask for more veggies with everything. Swap tomatoes for the home-fries
when ordering the breakfast special.
• Salads often have more dressing than you need. Ask for dressings (and
condiments) on the side.
• For dessert, choose a fresh fruit cup, applesauce or fruit and yogurt parfait.
Restaurant meals can often serve 2 people. Try splitting or eating family
style and share. Pack up any extras to take home for a next-day meal.
