In our quest to eat light, we know to pass up artery cloggers like fettuccine Alfredo; we regularly order sauce on the side and veggies instead of fries. Problem is, "everything at a restaurant is 10 times more decadent than what you make at home,". So even the healthy-seeming fare can pack surprisingly high calorie counts. But that doesn't mean you have to eat at home every night (as if!). We grilled chefs and dietitians about the trends and dishes that can doom your stay-slim efforts. Commit these simple tips to memory and you'll never again fear a restaurant meal.
Don't trust the chef
You care about calories. We care about calories. That chef in the kitchen? Not so much. "When I'm developing a menu, I think about what tastes good.That's not to say she and other chefs use only high-cal, flavor-adding ingredients like cream and butter — they also use broths and herbs. But "the default method to make food taste better is to add more fat and salt,"
Don't OD on olive oil
You feel so-virtuous dipping your bread in olive oil, but dunking can be a waistline wrecker. "It's still all fat and it's calorie dense, and bread soaks it up like a sponge .As we know that just by Dip and devour two slices and you'll be at around 380 calories, or 75% to 90% of what most women should have for the whole meal. Butter is easier to keep track of (a thumbnail-size pat is about 45 calories), but it contains saturated fat.so the solution for this can be :.Go with heart-healthy extra-virgin olive oil, but add balsamic vinegar to cut fat and calories and boost flavor.Another useful tip is that
Maybe you don't live close to the mountains for an actual hike, but you can try and fake it at the gym with this treadmill mountain routine. Try to visualize yourself actually hiking up the mountain, getting to the peak, and then heading back down.
If you want to dabble in dehydrating without committing to the heavy artillery, try it out in your oven. You can achieve the same results and enjoy fresh dried fruit — minus the preservatives. Not only is this more cost-efficient compared to store-bought options, but also, you end up with healthier results. Plus, keeping your oven on a low temp in the Winter can help warm you up and ring in the holiday cheer.
Finally eating fats to stay healthy may sound backward, but it's true. In moderation, certain fats, like heart-healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats, are necessary. As a rule of thumb, a little less than 30 percent of your total calories should be made up of fats, and of this total, only 25 percent should be made up of saturated fats (little to no trans fats should be eaten). Think of eating healthier fats as a way to support dietary functions, and consuming bad fats as hindering progress.
