Kevin and I decided during our first week of the 90 Day Challenge that we wanted to learn early on how to eat healthy in a restaurant. While it sounds good to eat dinner at home every night, we all know that's not going to happen.
We figured out that many restaurants actually offer nutritional information on their web sites. That makes life pretty easy. For those that don't, there are still plenty of options that don't involve only eating a salad. Just be smart with your choices. Grilled chicken is fine, even with some BBQ sauce on it. Just try to have veggies with it. Fish is always good provided that it's not fried. Kevin likes to have steak and that's not a problem. He just can't have the 20 oz prime rib. As long as portion sizes are appropriate that's not a problem.
The funny thing is that we find that our eyes are bigger than our stomachs now. We don't need to early nearly as much to feel full, which is a good thing.
We both used to be a big fan of soda as well. Like 2-3 glasses of soda per meal. Now we will still get a soda when we go out to eat (no soda at home though) but we will also get water with it. We drink the water first and then just sip on the soda with our meal. We're able to save ourselves 200-300 calories right there!
