Nevertheless, we can still exercise good eating habits. The American Dietetic Association offers nutritional tips to follow for healthier options on these occasions:
- Ask for low-fat dressings, sauces or gravies on the side.
- Avoid mayonnaise and cheese, and choose tomato or barbeque sauce instead.
- Order low-fat milk or juice instead of soda and milkshakes.
- Avoid fried foods and stick to baked potatoes or side salads.
- Split portions that are too large with someone else.
- Ask that bread be served with the meal, not beforehand. – (HealthDayNews)
