At Parsley Health we want you to know that eating out can be healthy — it’s just about knowing what to look for and what to avoid when you sit down to the table.
By following these tips, you can be confident that you are making the healthiest choices available without giving up your favorite restaurant!
A handful of nuts, ¼ of an avocado, a scoop of almond butter or a hard boiled egg are all great options. Not arriving to your destination in a state of starvation will help you choose with a clear head
If everyone at your table is in agreement on this, the best way to resist it is to not have it in front of you. The waiter may be able to bring you some olives or cut up veggies instead.
A lot of appetizers are fried or breaded, so sticking with a salad is a great way to have an appetizer course, but a much healthier one. For dressing stick with oil and vinegar or oil and lemon juice.

Grilled, roasted or broiled fish chicken tofu or lean meat along with sautéed veggies are a safe bet. If you don’t see any dishes prepared this simply on the menu, just ask, it’s likely that they will be able to make it for you.
If possible, check out the menu before you go so that you can decide in advance what you’d like to eat. This way it won’t be any trouble at all when you get to the restaurant because you will already have your plan in place. Many restaurants will note certain dietary restrictions such as gluten and dairy free on their menu. Additionally, some restaurants have a separate gluten free menu that they will provide upon request.

Usually fresh fruit – especially berries which have a low glycemic load – is the best way to satisfy your sweet tooth. But, if you’d like to indulge a bit, share dessert with others at the table. You can satisfy your palate with a few bites and keep your body happy by not overdoing it. Another trick I like is BYO dessert! Stick a square or two of dark chocolate in your bag and have that instead of any dessert at the restaurant.
