DINING OUT
Here are a few tips to help you with your dining out choices.
I have a flow chart but it wont upload so here are some pointers below… I will work on a flow chart to upload for you to print and download!! 🙂
PROTEINS
BREADED OR FRIED—-NO THANKS
GRILLED/BROILED/BAKED OR BLACKENED—PERFECT!
(IF THERE IS A SAUCE, ASK FOR IT ON THE SIDE AND USE SPARINGLY!)
SIDE OPTIONS:
POTATOES– ARE YAMS OR SWEET POTATOES AVAILABLE?
IF YES—-PERFECT! (NO BUTTER PLEASE!)
IF NO—ASK FOR EXTRA VEGGIES (NO BUTTER PLEASE)
RICE– IS STEAMED BROWN RICE AVAILABLE?
IF YES—PERFECT
IF NO– ASK FOR EXTRA VEGGIES (NO BUTTER PLEASE)
VEGGIES– ALWAYS SAFE AND CAN BE REPLACED FOR A STARCHY CARB
ASK FOR VEGGIES TO BE STEAMED OR GRILLED!! (NO BUTTER PLEASE)
IF SAUTEED– ASK WHAT TYPE OF OIL THEY ARE SAUTEED IN– IF OLIVE OR CANOLA OIL—OKAY BUT BETTER IF GRILLED OR STEAMED.
IF YOU ORDER A SALAD, ASK FOR DRESSING ON THE SIDE AND USE SPARINGLY. IT IS ALWAYS SAFE TO ASK FOR OLIVE OIL AND VINEGAR ON THE SIDE!!
ANY SAUCE/CREAMS/BUTTERS— ALWAYS ON THE SIDE!
