Eating out

Frequent visits to many restaurants has enabled me to create a small list of, what I feel are, the healthiest choices some menus. Some dishes may seem like a low calorie choice but may turn out to be full of extra energy, it all depends on how that dish was prepared. For example, a baked potato with tuna and salad may seem like the perfect dish for low energy content but if tuna in oil, oils for the salad and butter in the baked potato was used in the preparation then this would become a high calorie food.

From Italian restaurants some healthy choices are:
Pasta with vegetable or seafood sauces
Gnocchi
Risotto
Grissini
Try to stay away from creamy or buttery sauce dishes

For Chinese restaurants some good choices are:
Prawn or vegetable chop suey
Boiled rice
Noddles
Try to stay away from spare ribs and duck dishes
