Eating for good health doesn’t have to be dull. You don’t have to give up your favorite foods, either. You can change the way you eat when dining out.With a little practice, you will soon be making wise food selections from any menu. Balance higher calorie, fat, and sodium foods with other menu items that are lower. Adding physical activity to your day can balance out those extra calories. Remember, the key is to think about the nutritional value of your food.
