Now that many of you are going out to eat again, plan to make healthy nutritional choices.

Choose a veggie-packed salad for your main meal.

Go light on toppings like bacon and cheese.

Load your pizza with colorful veggies. Ask for whole wheat bread or brown rice.

Choose chicken or fish that is broiled or baked instead of breaded or fried.

Ask for sauces to be brought on the side and use only half.

Order low-fat milk or a glass of water instead of sugary drinks.

Split a meal with a family member or a friend. This is a great way to have one of your favorite meals while cutting half the calories and fat.
