Nutrition Class 8: Dining Out
3 steps to dining out success Preparation Ordering Enjoying the meal
Preparation Look online for restaurant menus Healthydiningfinder.com Calorieking.com Collect menus to take home Make reservations
Preparation Have a small snack before eating out Order water right away Ask for a healthier option instead of a bread bowl
Ordering Try not to order everything all at once Split the meal Order veggies instead of a starch Order salads with caution ask for dressing on the side Have staff box other half of meal right away for leftovers Ask to not bring out the bread on table Ask questions
Ordering • Avoid these words… • Fried, smothered, crispy, cheesy, creamed, breaded, au gratin, pan-fried, buttered, scalloped • Look for these words… • Steamed, broiled, baked, grilled, poached, roasted
Create Your Own! Don’t be afraid to order off menu (Doesn’t hurt to ask if they have something) Go a la carte and put together your own meal Ask if things can be altered or replaced with more preferable ingredients
What is Portion Distortion? • Refers to the idea that people tend to regard excessive portion sizes as “normal” amounts • Due in large part to increased restaurant servings over time • Customers looking to get the most for their money • Restaurants serving larger portions to create these “bargains”
Enjoying the Meal Be mindful! Enjoy the company of those around you Put your fork down in between bites Stop when you are no longer hungry instead of stopping when you are full Drink water in between bites Eat the brightest food on your plate first
