How to Eat Out Fast Food Style

It is a relief to know that in Spokane you can eat out and still have a healthy meal. Let’s start with the fast food chains that are notorious for adding the unwanted inches. Although eating at a fast food restaurant is for the most part a big “no no” and if you have a personal trainer he or she would probably make you pay in your next workout for eating there. But if you do the best thing you can order is a grilled chicken salad of some kind. Next on the line would be a grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo. And absolutely NO French Fries! If you must have fries, be sure to run 10 miles afterwards to burn those fat calories. Sandwich shops are pretty safe as long as you stay away from a lot of cheese and mayo.

How to Eat Out Restaurant Style

Spokane has some great restaurants for eating out at. Eating out at a sit down restaurant can be a lot better than fast food. For the most part a good sit down restaurant will have a healthy category on their menu. Ordering from this category is pretty safe and for the most is a healthy meal that includes vegetables, protein, etc. Also ordering a grilled chicken salad of some kind will work as well. One of the main problems with out at a sit down restaurant is the portion size you get. The portions are usually big which can really pack on the calories. So a good practice is to ask for a to-go box as your order so when your meal comes out place half of it in that to-go box. This helps you not eat the whole thing unconsciously. Also we tend to forget that our drinks have calories too. So it is important to stay away from soda or high sugar drinks. If you have an alcoholic beverage, be sure to keep it at one or two. I know that is hard to do after a hard day at work but doing this will help keep the calories down. For more help on a great eating plan click here.
