Choose Wisely

01

Check their websites or online menus for nutritional information or look for restaurants that emphasize fresh, whole ingredients and offer a variety of dishes.

Mindful Ordering

02

Limit dishes with heavy cream-based sauces, as they can be high in saturated fats and calories. Instead, opt for tomato-based sauces like marinara.

Be Cautious with Toppings

Ask for them to be left off completely or placed on the side so you can have more control over the portion size.

Control Portion Sizes

To avoid overeating on these larger portions, consider sharing a meal with a friend or family member.

Starters and Appetizers

Beginning your meal with a salad or a broth-based soup offers several benefits. Salads packed with nutrients to keep you full!
