Dining Out Tips
Gretchen Peyton, RD, LDN, CNSD
Registered Dietician

Many times we find ourselves challenged to make healthy eating choices. Our busy
lifestyles leave us with lunch choices from the workplace cafeteria or grab and
go sandwich shops. We find ourselves in client dinners many nights of the week or
without time to plan a healthy dinner at home. Dining out seems to be our only option!
As a society, the percentage of meals we are consuming away from home has risen
15%. It is no surprise rates of overweight Americans have risen as well. Restaurant
foods are generally high in saturated fat and deficient in whole grains, fruits
and vegetables. Use the information below to make the best choices when dining out!

| An airline flight has a number of potential hazards and ill effects. These include in-flight insomnia, jet lag, transmission of infectious disease, constipation, ear pain, lower oxygen to the heart, leg clots (called deep venous thrombosis), muscle and joint discomfort and radiation exposure. Other negative effects of air travel, not often thought about, are the high potential for changes in eating habits and the stress of delays and being disconnected from work and family. We?ll hit on each of these very briefly and offer some practical tips. |
