Everyone loves to eat out from time to time. And why not?
During summer, it’s a great way to escape the heat. During the winter holiday season, it’s a convenient and flexible opportunity to socialize with friends and family without having to worry about hosting or cleaning up.
Likewise, eating out offers great convenience for those people or families on the go — especially those folk whose schedules are dictated by work, an active social life, or both. Dining out is often the easiest solution. According to a recent report from Zagat, Americans dine out for breakfast, lunch, or dinner an average 5.9 times per week.
It’s no real wonder.
The variety available to the average consumer has only grown over the years — particularly when it comes to healthy eating choices. That said, those healthy choices are not always immediately apparent and it’s easy to — without realizing it — sacrifice nutrition for convenience.
The good news is that smart ways to eat out which support a healthy lifestyle are fairly simple.
Whether you’re trying to lose weight, keep in shape, or maintain a handle on a specific dietary need, we have some suggestions so you can dine out with friends, family, or just yourself with confidence that you are holding true to healthy habits.
