In the hustle and bustle of modern day life, paying attention to your diet and nutrition can seem like a minor concern. Your wellness and wellbeing should always be a top priority, and the best way that you can protect your health is by making sure that you are providing your body with adequate nutrition.
There are some simple ways that you can protect your wellness, even if you lead a hectic lifestyle, though. For example, if you find yourself in restaurants on a regular basis – either through work or through not having time to cook for yourself at home – you don’t have to eat the richest thing on the menu every time. Look out for dishes such as salads, steamed veggies and soups. Many restaurants now offer a low-fat or healthy eating option as well, so look out for those, and also look out for sauces that use tomatoes as a base instead of cream, as these are often far healthier.
Remember, if you are not sure about what you are eating you are perfectly at liberty to ask your server what the lowest fat option is.
Make sure you also order all of your condiments and dressings on the side, so that you can be in control of what you add to your meal – and how much.
Salad dressings don’t have to be laden with calories and oil, either. The best salad dressings can be made by squeezing a fresh orange or lime over your salad and is virtually calorie free. Skipping the butter when it comes to toast or sandwiches can also help to remove lots of unnecessary calories.
Baked potatoes are another hot tip when it comes to eating out. You can go to a specific baked potato vendor, or choose these when in a restaurant. Skip the butter and add baked beans, for a very low calorie protein hit.
