Remember your weight when eating out!

Here are some things that may help keep you on track with your weight-loss plans when dining out:

At the restaurant, ask your waiter what other options or substitutes are available instead of having butter with your meals. Similarly, avoid sauces and gravies that have been prepared with butter.

You can also ask your waiter to serve fat-free or skimmed milk instead of full cream or cream, where available, or if certain dishes or beverages require them.

Be sure to order lean meat, or ask your waiter to ensure that the visible fat has been trimmed off from the meat or poultry before preparation.

Ordering a healthy salad is a must – just be sure to get the dressing on the side so that you can have just a little if any at all.

Lastly, consider ordering a meal that has been prepared using a cooking method that involves minimal or no oil at all. This may include steaming, boiling, baking, roasting, poaching or a meal that has been lightly sautéed or stirfried.
