Eating at a restaurant is no different than eating at home. You have control over the situation. Depending on your meal of the day still eat according to your DAMY Health plan. Using your hand to measure your food judge your portions like this:
- Proteins – palm of hand
- Vegetable Serving – large handful
- Fruit serving – palm of hand
- Fat serving – Thumb
- Condiments – Thumb
If you’re eating a supper at a restaurant go for a salad with a lean protein. Make sure your meat is grilled or baked. Steak, fish, chicken, turkey, seafood, tofu are all great options.
When ordering vegetables make sure they are steamed or boiled – never fried.
Order all sauces on the side.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions to ask how things are cooked or prepared.
Hard boiled eggs are a great way to get a protein source that is definitely not manipulated in any unhealthy way.
