Ever been in this situation? You're feeling amazing about your fitness and health progress, and your girls want to go out for the night. You actually WANT to get dressed up to go out for once! You show up to the restaurant, feeling cute AF, and then you see the menu. All of it involves some form of rice, corn, bread — all the stuff you've been working hard to limit in favor of healthy grains and greens! WHAT SHOULD YOU EAT!? You start to panic. Don't worry. I have so many healthy tips for eating at restaurants. I got you, girl.

How to eat out at restaurants without derailing your goals

 

I've been there one million times. It is so hard to navigate a social life and pick the right meal at restaurants when you are trying to be healthy.

Don't panic!

 

The first thing you need to hear is this: Guilt/Anxiety is not. the. way. we. win. Because that's not life at its best any more than eating processed junk and watching TV all day. Life is meant to be enjoyed! #LiveGuiltless

So before you do anything else, take a deep breath. Remember that NO meal (no matter how many french fries) can totally undo your progress! You are making healthy choices to feel your best, not to be skinny. So pick the food that helps you do that, even at restaurants.

Don't worry – there are easy things you can do to make eating out painless! But I know it's still hard.

It was really hard, but it IS possible to make healthier choices, no matter what types of restaurants you have access to.
