In period of regime, the restaurant, synonymous with extreme temptations, is usually the ogre of anyone. In fact, a good restaurant, with a first course, second course, dessert and a glass of wine represents approximately 1000 calories. In fact, it is possible to treat yourself by lightening the plate and preserving this moment of conviviality as many times as you want.
In an Italian restaurant, goodbye to tiramisu
It is useless to enter a establishment Italian taste if you forbid yourself to eat pizza with its 700 calories. However, you can opt for half a ham and eggs, assorted vegetables rather than a 4-cheese pizza. The same goes for pasta, the ideal is not to opt for carbonara and lasagna that are too greasy, and choose pasta based on seafood or with tomato. As for dessert, the lightness of the tiramisu it is misleading. One part of this dessert equals 300 calories. Therefore it is better to opt for a fruit salad.
In a Chinese restaurant, goodbye to the nems
If the restaurants Asian have a reputation for being dietetic, pay attention to fried products, 2 nems equal 200 calories. Also pay attention to sauces since a piece of sugar per tablespoon of coffee is what the sweet and sour sauce contains, and the same in relation to rice and steamed ravioli because they are rich in carbohydrates. The coconut ball should also be put aside, and opt for fruit or a ball of sorbet.
Chicken or fish accompanied by vegetables and a little rice, it can be a good balanced menu in a Chinese restaurant. You should also be careful with buffet liness where you can eat at will. If you are on a regimen, this only increases the difficulty of losing weight.
In a Japanese restaurant, goodbye to the 12-piece menu
La more Japanese It is a little fat, apart from the good omega 3s in tuna and salmon, but it is very sweet, including the coleslaw. The sushi and makis are deceptive, they are cooked with rice vinegar and sugar. A set of 12 pieces equals 350 calories. Better have a soup miso and sashimi with a little rice. At dinner, you should put aside starches.
The advice is good but it is a bit confusing to count calories in the restaurant and more when you are having a good time, come on, I can't do it, I use another trick, the zone diet that divides the plate into 3 groups to eat healthy and not get fat. In your plate you should make 40% carbohydrates (I always prefer vegetables or brown rice) 30% protein and 30% healthy fat such as olive oil. It is easier for me to imagine the dish like this and order my menu according to those measurements, I think it is more visual than putting numbers with calories….
