Healthy Salads, Soups, Appetizers, Side Dishes to order at Restaurant

from: Lokesh

Gorging on weekends what we all love doing. But have you ever wondered that you maybe ordering wrong. Restaurants more often than not can do damage to a healthy diet. So if you want to lose weight and are trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle - order right. 

Most dishes that 'appear' healthy on the menu, often come with hidden ingredients like butter and oils that can turn it into a calorie and fat intensive meal. 

Follow this guide of foods to order: 

1. Salads: Salads are very healthy, but they can also be very unhealthy. Follow these guidelines: 

GO FOR: 
  • Salads with fruit, veggies, beans and lean protein, such as grilled chicken or fish. 
  • Dressings that are vinaigrette based. Always have the waiter or waitress bring the dressing on the side. When you get the dressing, use it moderately. 
AVOID: 
  • Salads containing cheese, sour cream, nuts, tortilla chips or strips, croutons, meats, fried chicken or fried fish. 
  • Cream or mayo based dressings. (Example, Blue Cheese, Thousand Island, French) 
 2. Soups:  Soups can be a healthy option, but often, they are filled with butter, oil and highly saturated creams or dairy (cheese). 

GO FOR: 
  • Broth or stock based soups that contain fish or chicken, veggies and beans. (Example: Clam Chowder, Gazpacho, Minestrone, Chicken Noodle)) 
AVOID: 
  • Soups with cream, cheese or milk. (Example: New England Clam Chowder, Broccoli Cheese) 
 3. Appetisers:  Appetisers are a great way of eating light. Go for two appetisers (such as a salad and a protein based appetiser) to keep your meal light. Avoid appetisers that are fried or greasy. 

GO FOR: 
  • Vegetable based appetisers (salads, grilled vegetables, veggie spring rolls) 
  • Those with grilled, boiled or seared lean meats (Chicken skewers) 
  • Fish appetisers that are cooked or sushi style (Shrimp Cocktail, tuna sushi roll) 
AVOID: 
  • Those that are fried (fried shrimp, chicken fingers, dumplings, etc.) 
  • Those with cheese (artichoke/spinach dip, cheese fritters, etc.) 
  • Those that come with chips 
4. Side Dishes: Many side dishes are vegetable based, which is great for getting in fibre and needed nutrients. 

Potatoes: 
GO FOR: 
  • Opt for whole boiled or baked potatoes or sweet potatoes. 
AVOID: 
  • Stay away from mashed or fried potatoes. 

Veggies: 
GO FOR: 
  • Opt for steamed or grilled veggies. Avoid grilled vegetables that are oily. 
AVOID: 
  • Those mixed with milk, cream or cheese (creamed spinach, broccoli and cheese) and suteed vegetables. 

5. Entrees: 

Meats, Chicken and Fish: 
GO FOR : 
  • Grilled chicken or fish. Grilled meats are okay if they are very lean. 
AVOID : 
  • Breaded fish or chicken 
  • Stuffed meats 
  • Avoid meats and fish that are fried 
  • Fatty meats or fatty pork 
Pastas: 
AVOID: 
  • Those with tomato or broth based sauces (Example: marinara, puttanesca, olive oil and garlic) 
  • Those with vegetables and grilled or lightly sauteed chicken or fish 
WORST : Those with cream, cheese or meat based sauces (Example: a la vodka, pesto, alfredo, bolognese)
