Menu Decoder: A Guide for Choosing Healthy Dishes When Eating Out

We all try to be healthy and choose the best meals for ourselves. In the kitchen, you have complete control over what you eat. The same can not be said for when you eat out. Unless you are in the kitchen watching over the chef, you have absolutely no control over how much butter, oil, and salt was used in the cooking process. One of the reasons restaurant food tastes much better than food cooked at home is they add a lot more salt and oil which makes the food taste amazing but can lead to fatty liver, high cholesterol, and abnormal blood pressure. Even a simple salad from a restaurant can contain up to 1200 calories in a single serving! With these simple tricks, you can learn how to pick the healthiest dish from the menu.
