Eat out healthy

Whether or not you're trying to lose weight, you can eat healthily when dining out – if you know how, says the American National Institutes of Health.

Take action: When you order, select foods that are steamed, grilled, baked, roasted, poached, lightly sautéed or stir-fried. Ask your waiter if the restaurant will serve fat-free milk rather than full-cream milk or cream and leave all butter, gravy or sauces off a dish.
