Eating Out Without Guilt: What to Order to Stay on Track

Writer's picture: EmilyEmily

We’ve all been there — craving some takeout or decided to eat at a restaurant, but also trying to stay on track with your goals. The good news? You don’t have to choose between satisfying your cravings and keeping it healthy...

 

General Tips + Advice

Keep it simple: grilled meats and protein are your best options with simple sides like salad, veggies, and “clean” carbs, like potato, rice, quinoa, and beans.


Consider skipping creamy sauces and opting for lighter ones- such as olive oil based.


Opt for bunless burgers or sandwiches in lettuce wraps.


When You're Out for Breakfast/Brunch

  • A veggie packed omelette with light cheese and avocado! Add some extra protein like chicken sausage, bacon, or grilled chicken.

  • Split a sweeter breakfast item or take a couple bites after your protein!


Italian Restaurant - What To Order

  • Thin or gluten free pizza, light cheese, add veggie and protein

  • Grilled chicken with veggies and gluten free pasta or risotto



Mexican Restaurant  - What To Order

  • Corn or flour tortilla with grilled fish, chicken, or shrimp

  • Fajitas with grilled chicken or steak and veggies


Japanese Restaurant  - What To Order

  • Sushi with tuna, yellowtail, shrimp with white or brown rice

  • Edamame is the perfect snack to get at dinner

  • Chicken or beef teriyaki when you order proteins


Steakhouse  - What To Order

  • Sirloin or filet is a leaner cut

  • When ordering your sides, ask for veggies and potatoes


Not Sure What You'll Be Eating At An Outing?...

Think protein first- this is going to give you the best bang for your buck

Chug water- hydrate as much as you can

Opt for veggies whenever possible

Skip sauces + condiments if necessary

Remember - one meal won't make you gain 10 lbs or ruin your progress!
