Restaurant meals are undeniably one source of unhealthy food due to excess calories, sugar and fat. But there are certain way to ensure that you are eating in restaurants are good enough for you. Many restaurants nowadays, hand over menu in which ingredients of meals are enumerated and even stating how much calories in there.

The important thing to do when you go out and sat on a fancy chair of bistros or any other food chains is to take time in scrutinizing the menu. You can still enjoy dining out without ingesting too much calories. Being healthy is always our choice.

Even though fizzy drinks are available in different restaurants, you can always opt out to that and instead choose water or healthier drinks like smoothies. Since 17th century soft drinks are made available to people to enjoy. But that doesn't mean we can't avoid it. Soft drinks are okay to consume from time to time but not too much though. Because too much soft drinks can bring bad effects to our health.

I am always fascinated with homemade foods rather than in the restaurant, however sometimes if you don't want to deal with all those works it is sometimes be another way of going outside and dine-in

I always get water when we eat out as does my son we prefer to not only save the calories but the money and then treat our self to frozen yogurt later or something fun like that.

I cannot believe there is a burger with 1520 calories. That is beyond belief to me. It seems as if that burger is designed to cause damage.

I have never tried any Carl Jr's burger before. Man! That's a lot of calories to burn. Anyway, that is one of the many reasons we rarely go out to eat. If we do, like on travels, we are very picky. Or go to Subway and order a healthier sandwich. Or go to a store or Deli store and buy things that you can make your own sandwhich, which we do and we find a park somewhere where the kids to eat and play and my husband and I can eat in peace. LOL! And yes, bring lots of water.

JUst like Becca, I drink water when we go out, not because I drink soda at home but because water is healthier.

My husband and I love to dine out but I don't order sodas, instead I just drink water and if they have the fresh coconut, that's what I order. I stop drinking sodas for 7 years now.

we don't really dine out for the purpose of dining out :) but oftentimes, we are wandering and going home for food is too out of the way and we still have the rest of the day to wander. if we travel, I could not last eating out for straight 3 days, thus I secretly cook rice and steam vegetables in the rice cooker, haha, yes, rice cooker is one very ideal partner in our travels. we bring rice, and oftentimes, hotels have fridge, so, we just buy vegetables to put in the fridge, and that would make me happy. :) somehow, if i eat out consecutively, i feel so sick and could not last wandering.

homecooked healthy food is always the best but eating out is inevitable. you just have to be good in shedding off every calorie intake after doing so. :)

How I wonder on how to be guilty, but I ate fastfood meals with gusto. The only thing that I'm doing is to exercise to trim body fats. Eat and exercise...

Eating foods outside the house is risky, Why? Because, we don't have any idea on how it's being prepared. We're not sure if the utensils we're using are clean and sanitized. But, there's nothing wrong in dining out. Who would not? We all do so, let's take the risks. LOL!!!
