Eating out on a diet really does not have to be a big deal and it does not have to immediately be seen as a nightmare on possible. In fact, eating out on a diet can be perfectly healthy and reasonable and if you follow these tips, you won't undo the good work you have already done!
1. You can have meat, absolutely. But going for white meat is much better. Ask for chicken skinless where it is possible to do so and take grilled options over fried ones. Desperate for a steak? If you're really a fan of the red meat, just be sure to choose a leaner cut.
2. Never ending pasta bowls might seem like heaven. But your waistline does not think so. Italian restaurants often have great deals on refillable pasta bowls etc but I would recommend that those "all you can eat," options maybe aren't your best bet. All you can eat might be great for the bank account, but four thousand calories later and your diet went down the drain. Take a 'normal' controlled meal instead. At least you know what you're eating then!
3. Doggy bag? Most restaurants are happy to wrap up your leftovers for you to take home. Why not ask them to wrap up half as soon as you get it? That way you know you have half for another meal during the week and you can't go too crazy on the calories at that one sitting.
4. Takeout food is really fine and a number of Indian or Asian restaurants have some tasty and healthy options. As above, take half of the meal away before you sit down to eat it. Save it for another meal and cut your calories at that one sitting.
5. Say no to the buffer. No portion control is a nightmare for dieters and when eating out on a diet, buffets and all you can eat are nightmares!! Avoid them.
6. Eat small meals during the day if you are eating on at night. That way you limit your indulgence and the potential damage to your diet.
