DINING OUT

Sisters, we all know that dining out is a part of life. From church functions, to birthday celebrations, business meetings, or just a day out with the girls, it’s almost impossible to avoid dining out. But why should you have to? SisterTalk is here to help your dining experience become one that’s not full of worry from large amounts of calories to fat.

IN THIS MONTH’S FOOD FOR LIVING, DONNA SHARES CALORIE SAVING TIPS FOR DINING OUT. SHE SUGGESTS:

  • Order water with lemon instead of soda or alcohol
  • Avoid fried appetizers
  • Try a salad as an appetizer
  • Try a salad with chicken or shrimp as your main dish
  • Ask for steamed vegetables instead of fries
  • Ask for a “to go” container prior to eating
  • Set aside half of your meal for later
