It’s not easy when you are watching what you eat!
One of my most valuable lessons I have learned was to check out menus online ahead of time. Even if the restaurants don't have nutritionals posted, you can usually find out what's on the menu before you get there. Then at least you will be prepared for what to expect and can make the best choices. When in doubt, you can always call the restaurant in advance to see exactly how some foods are prepared and any additional questions about the menu! In this day and age any restaurant manager will be happy to answer your questions, they want to help make your experience a memorable one! It also helps cut back on a lot of menu reading time at the restaurant, when what you really want to do is be engaged in conversations with your companions!
The only snag in this process is when the server announces the “specials”. Always a hard decision to make and sometimes not the wisest! All your advanced investigating and knowledge right out the window! I will admit that my downfalls will always be, foie gras, sweetbreads and bone marrow, no matter how they are prepared!!!
Until Monday – keep thinking veggies and protein!
