🎯Pick your protein wisely.

Regardless of the restaurant, try to lower the calorie intake by choosing -

➡️Chicken or seafood instead of beef, lamb or pork.

➡️Legumes (beans) instead of chicken. They’re high in fiber, filling and healthy.

🎯Prioritize veggies

Takeout doesn’t mean you have to skimp on veggies. Try:

➡️Double veggies in your dish, instead of unhealthy starchy options.

➡️Some baby carrots as an appetizer, to keep you from overeating.

➡️A side of broccoli instead of fries.

➡️Cauliflower pizza crust instead of regular crust (it’s an option in many places since it’s gluten-free).

➡️Double lettuce and tomato on your burger.

🎯Dodge the dairy.

Dairy has nutritional value, but a takeout meal loaded with dairy can do more harm than good. To get the deliciousness with fewer calories, ask the restaurant to prepare the dish -

➡️With half the cheese or a lower-fat cheese, such as  provolone. (Or — even better — ask for the cheese on the side.)

➡️Using avocado instead of dairy — the avocado has a great creamy texture.
