Eating healthy at a Mexican restaurant?
My family is going to a Mexican restaurant for dinner Friday night. I have been on a diet for the last two months and I have lost around 30 pounds. Here's where I need your help. What are some of the healthier/lower fat choices that I should look for when we go out to eat Mexican? I know that I can get a big salad obviously but I would like something else if that's at all possible without going off of my eating plan. I have just been watching my calorie & fat intake. Thanks in advance!
Are there healthy fast food restaurants?
It's actually rather easy to eat healthy at a fast food restaurant, if you know what to eat. And no it's not the veggie sandwiches at Subway or even some sad skinless chicken breast. What you need to do is simply avoid sugar and carbohydrates, that's it. As long as you do this and keep your calorie count to a reasonable level (1800 to 3000 depending on your size, age, gender and activity level) and avoid the carbs and sugar you can eat fast food without worry. Some folks will tell you that the sodium levels are too high in processed food, they're wrong. Study after study has show that sodium does NOT cause high blood pressure or heart decease, and it will cause problems for those who already have these risks a whopping 2% of the time. Other will tell you that the fat content is too high, these folks are also wrong. Saturated fats (animal fat) does NOT make you fat, or cause diabetes. People are pointing at Paula Dean as proof that butter and fat are unhealthy because she has diabetes, of course they blame the butter and fat in her cooking while ignoring all the sugar and flour (carbs spike your blood sugar) and of course diabetes is a problem processing SUGAR not fat.

What are some healthy restaurants to eat at?
That really depends on where you live. Try finding restaurants in your area that use local produce, as the vitamins and what not will be in greater concentration if it hasn't been sitting on a truck for weeks. Also, most chain restaurants offer nutritional info on their websites, so pick out your entree online(it'll save you time at the restaurant as well). It's all about what you choose to eat, not where you eat.
How can I eat healthily while eating out in restaurants?
There are a few ways you could do this. First off focus on enjoying the experience, the people around you and the restaurant atmosphere. That is more important than what’s on your plate. If it’s a restaurant or an outing for an occasion, be kind to yourself and listen to what your body wants, indulge a little.My main top tips[1] would be to:Review the menu onlineDon’t go starvingPick a healthier main and small nibbles of nice indulgent dishes. For example a small starter or dessert.Follow 80/20 rule 80 % you’re eating a healthy, balanced diet and 20% you can eat what the hell you want.Just remember that the food is just part of the experience overall and not to get stressed!Footnotes[1] How To Eat Out Healthily | 100 day challenge | Everdine Blog

What are some tips for eating healthy at a fast food restaurant?
If you get a burger and the buns “overlap" the patty, tear off the extra bread.If they have unsweetened tea, get that and then just use artificial sweetener in it. At least that way you'll know what and how much sweet stuff is in it.You should avoid dessert; but if you get it, don't buy it from a fast food restaurant.Don't pig out on the fries, onion rings, tater tots, or other sides. Those are empty carbs that just make you hungrier.Avoid the shakes(malts).
How do you eat in a healthy manner in restaurants? Is it possible to eat a plant based diet in most restaurants?
In most American restaurants, your vegan meal would be made up of three or four sides of vegetables and starches. You would get most of your protein from your other meals of the day, not the restaurant meal. In restaurants with high protein grains like quinoa, with entrées featuring beans or nuts, you can get enough protein not to leave hungry.With Asian and Middle East and Mexican restaurants, life gets easier. Asian restaurant have tofu entrées or vegetable sushi. Falafel in a Middle Eastern restaurant is good, and so are hummus platters. A burrito stuffed with beans, rice and vegetables also works, as does a veggie pizza without cheese. I have never had trouble getting good vegan food at an Indian restaurant either.In my experience it's the American-style restaurants that are hardest. More of them are offering veggie burgers these days, but unfortunately most veggie burgers contain egg.
