Healthy eating, especially in Saipan, is not easy. It’s even more difficult when you eat out. Many people eat out more than 4 times per week. If you eat out often, you must choose your food Carefully.
What makes it difficult to eat healthy when eating out: super sized portions; loads of fat; lots of salt; few fruits and vegetables, amongst others.
But, if you plan, you can choose healthy food when eating meals prepared away from home. Try some of these ideas the next time you eat out.
1. Choose your Saipan restaurant carefully – Look for restaurants that offer salads, baked potatoes, vegetables, whole grain breads and other healthy foods.
2. Have it “your way” – Ask for food to be baked, broiled, grilled or stir fried. Have sauces and dressings on the side. Order vegetables instead of high-fat sides like French fries.
3. Curb an all you can eat appetite – Don’t go to the restaurant starving. Eat a light snack to curb your appetite.
4. Split and share a meal – Share an entre. Add a salad or soup. Split desserts among the table.
5. Fill your doggie bag before you eat – Don’t be a member of the clean plate club. Ask for a doggie bag before your finish the meal.
