Summary

Let’s talk about how to order healthy at any restaurant and what are the right questions to ask, to get a delish but also good for you meal.

Now, up front I want to be clear that I am all about loving what you eat, and having the special experiences and endulging- for sure!

But for the majority of the time - I think we all feel the best when we fuel our bodys with whole foods and limit sugars, refined carbs and seeds oils.

I’m going to give you tips if you are an easy order-er when you’re out- and also if you’re like me and have no problems being the person with the complicated order - so many tips for you too.

In fact, if there’s ever a viral video of someone with like their wildly complicated order, 5 different friends will send me the same video. I laugh too because it’s accurate but hey I’ve learned what makes me body feel crappy and what makes it feel great and if my order has a few turns to get there, it’s worth it.

TIPS!
Research where you’re going ahead of time - pick places with healthier options.
As you get into doing this, call and ask the questions before you go- that way you can order easier when you get there.

Tips for the…

Easy order-er
-focus on protein
-sauce on the side
-extra veggies instead of a starch
-lettece wrapped instead of a bun

Complicated order-er
-Cook with olive oil or avocado oil
-Drinks - no refined sugar- ask for what fresh fruits they have
-Fish - wild caught
-Chicken - organic
-Beef - grass fed beef or steak

For dessert - bowl of berries - anything on top on the side please
See if you can get something from breakfast menu like greek yogurt and fruit with granola on the side.

And if you’re at a place that isn’t an experience- bring your own glass container! No shame in bringing your own yummy food if they don’t have the right thing for you!

CHEERS to loving the healthy foods you are ordering out!
