EATING OUT
Every community deserves a place where you can buy healthy foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables. If you want to get involved in making your neighborhood a healthier place to live, learn how you can take action in your community.
- Walk to and from nearby restaurants so you can get some activity before and after you eat.
- When you eat out, check for nutrition information online or ask to see nutrition information before ordering.
- Look for menu items that are baked, broiled, or steamed instead of choices that are fried, breaded or cooked in butter. Ask for creamy sauces to be served separately on the side.
- Drink water, low-calorie beverages, and unsweetened coffee or ice tea with meals.
