What can I pay attention to if I want to eat healthy in a restaurant?
-
If you want to eat healthier or want to lose weight, you can also watch what you eat in a restaurant. Here you will get 4 tips for a healthier dinner and suggestions for the starter, main course and dessert:
1. Check the menu
-
Eating starts with a critical look at the menu. You can often view this in advance on the internet if you find it useful. What are the choices you can make? Cooked, grilled or stewed foods tend to be less high in calories than fried or baked foods.
2. Choose a limited number of courses
-
Go for 1 or 2 courses instead of a 3 course menu. For example, eat a starter and main course, but have a cup of tea or coffee for dessert. Or choose only your main course first. Do not order the dessert until after the main course, if you still really want it.

3. Ask the possibilities
-
For example, order a smaller portion with extra vegetables or a salad. Ask if they serve sauce or dressing separately. Then you have the option to choose how much you put on your dish.
4. Choose a low-calorie drink
-
Not only alcoholic drinks such as wine and beer contain a lot of calories. Fruit drinks and soft drinks also add up nicely. Therefore choose water or diet soda.
What are good choices in a restaurant?

Starter: (wholemeal) bread with a little tapenade, vegetable salad or carpaccio. Main course: lean meat such as steak, turkey, fish or game with lots of vegetables and as much potatoes, rice or pasta as you normally need. Dessert: fruit, fruit sorbet, coffee or tea. There are also good choices in restaurants. As long as you do not eat too much and carefully, you should be able to eat out every now and then when you are on a weight loss diet.
