Healthy Alternatives to Eating Out

Many Americans have to eat on the go, which means eating out often. But eating out doesn't mean we have to break our healthy diets. In fact many restaurants these days are trying harder to offer healthy alternatives to high calorie and high fat meals. Here is a list of some of these restaurants that offer healthy alternatives. 

  • Subway
    • Many of their sandwiches are under 300 calories and they offer healthy sides such as raisins and apples. Stay away from fatty meats and heavy sauces.  
  • Noodles & Company
They offer whole wheat pastas and menu items for those who are watching their carbohydrates, calories, and sodium intake. They also have tasty salads and an array of vegetables you can add to any dish.  

  • P.F. Changs
    • They offer whole wheat rice and fresh veggies. They also cook with soybean oil and offer all natural chicken and Alaskan salmon.  
 
 
  
          • Jason's Deli
    • Their Mediterranean wrap and turkey wraps are good meals for under 400 calories and they have fresh fruit available along with great salads.   
 
 
 
 
  • McDonalds
    • That's right McDonalds is actually one of the healthiest fast food restaurants. They offer low-fat milk and apples as a substitute to french fries and soda.  
  • Einstein Bros. Bagels
    • They offer a great alternative to greasy, high calorie breakfasts with multi-grain bagels and hummus. They also have tasty side salad for lunch. 
 
 
 
 
 
  • Wendy's 
    • They have great alternatives to fatty food such as mandarin oranges, plain baked potatoes, and side salads. 
 
 
 
 
  • Applebees
    • They have partnered with weight watchers to offer great meals with low calories.
