Eating out when you are trying to lose weight or maintain weight loss is hard for anyone. If you are on the shorter side around 5ft 4 or under it is even harder.
Most meals in restaurants are over 1000 calories and when you have a lower calorie goal one meal out can really impact your whole week not just the day.
My top 5 tips to help
1, Ask for or see if they offer a smaller portion.
2, Ask to switch half of your pasta/rice/chips out for more veg.
3, Ask for something baked/grilled/steamed rather than fried
4, Sauces on the side
5, Prioritise your protein and your veg as in eat it first so that you are not as likely to over eat on other things. Eat slowly and enjoy your food.
