8 Wise Tips

For Making Healthy Choices When Dining Out

Restaurant dining can often feel like a landmine when you are trying to honor your body and eat well. Tempting menu options, hidden calorie bombs, and a “just this once” mindset can quickly derail your goals.

Dining out is tricky because restaurants frequently load meals with extra oils, butter, and salt to enhance flavor. However, caring for your physical health doesn’t mean you have to avoid dining out entirely. With a few intentional choices and a heart set on self-discipline, you can enjoy dining out while keeping your body nourished and refreshed.

1. Remember “NO BOSS”

Whenever possible, ask that your meal be prepared without Butter, Oil, Salt, and Sugar (NO BOSS).

  • Ask for vegetables steamed with butter served strictly on the side

  • Request that no extra salt be added to your entrée

  • Order salad dressings, sauces, and creams on the side so you remain in control of how much you consume

2. Don’t Drink Your Calories

Beverages can add up fast. Smoothies, sugary drinks, and specialty beverages often carry as many calories as a full meal or dessert.

  • Stick with pure, refreshing water

  • If you want extra flavor, ask for fresh lemon, lime, or cucumber slices in your glass

3. Choose a Healthy Appetizer

It is easy to overconsume before your main meal even arrives. Many starters are deep-fried or served with heavy, rich dips that set the wrong tone for the meal.

  • Opt for light, vegetable-based starters or broth-based soups

  • Avoid heavy fried options that leave your body craving excess fat and salt

4. Watch Your Portion Sizes

Restaurant portions are often far larger than what our bodies actually require for nourishment.

  • Share an entrée with a dining companion

  • Ask for a box right away and save half your meal for tomorrow. Even when you can’t control every ingredient, you can always control the quantity
