The Wellness of YOU! - # 120 - Healthy Restaurants
posted in Nutrition and Weight Loss |
As someone who is always talking about being on a good nutrition and weight loss program, I know that if you like to eat out, this can be a real problem. Most restaurants don’t do a great job of keeping us healthy.
The good thing is that there are several restaurants doing a much better job of looking out for your health. Some of those that have really stepped up and made some excellent menu changes are:
(1) Boston Market
(2) Denny’s
(3) Chili’s Grill and Bar
(4) Applebee’s
(5) P.F. Chang’s China Bistro
All of these are offering menu items that fit in beautifully with a good nutrition program. For example, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro is now offering brown rice with all their dishes. Applebee’s has a Bourbon Street Steak on their menu that shows you all the nutritional information including calories, total fat, carbs, and fiber, all displayed in a helpful chart.
As I’ve mentioned in past articles, it’s always good to check out the grill items on the menus. For example, again from Applebee’s, are such items as the Applebee’s House Sirloin or Sizzling Chicken Skillet. You can always ask your server for additional veggies instead of rice or the mashed or baked potatoes that accompany a lot of the grill items. Many of the restaurants are now offering whole wheat breads. You may have to request them, though. Most of the main-course salads are another good option β but be careful with the dressings. Look for low fat varieties. Don’t be afraid to ask for these things. Even if the restaurant doesn’t carry them on their menus today, if enough people request them, they’ll get the message and start to have them on hand.
