Wanna know a secret? You can eat out successfully when dieting.
A lot of times when people begin to ‘diet’ they cut out everything and definitely do not eat out!
This often leads to people falling off the wagon hard.
They binge and don’t look back.
This is why I want to go over some great tips for you so you can eat out successfully when dieting.
Plan Ahead
If you know in advance that you are going to be eating out later, then you will be able to better structure your caloric intake.
It is ideal to eat most of your protein prior to going and save your carbs and fats for the restaurant!
Look at the Menu Prior To
When going out to eat at a restaurant, take a look at the menu prior to going.
Why?
Because you’ll know what food options they have and how much of it you can have.
And yes, it is okay not to eat your whole meal. You can ask for half the amount or save the other half for your next day.
This way you can still enjoy your favorite meal/meals in moderation!
Ask for Sauce on the Side
A lot of times the food we order is layered in sauce (or can be layered in the sauce.)
However, by asking for sauce on the side you can control the amount you use.
By doing this you won’t be sneaking in a boatload of calories through sauces.
Have a Low-Calorie Drink
As easy as it is to smash through a few drinks and beers, the calories can definitely add up.
Yes, if you have saved your calories for some drinks then that is great.
However, a lot of times restaurant foods can be heavy in calories anyways.
Therefore, going with low-calorie drinks options, such as water, diet sodas, or even low-calorie beer would be ideal.
This way you will not sneak in excessive calories!
Last Words
By following the tips above you too can eat out successfully when dieting.
You do not have to change your whole around for your diet.
Your diet should never do that anyway.
However, by making smart choices in advance you can live fully, even when dieting!
