EATING VEGAN RESTAURANTS RIGHT TIPS & TRICKS


 
 Avoid no Vegan Restaurant 

1. Ask for your entrée to be prepared grilled, steamed, baked or broiled 

2. Know your portion sizes. size of a deck of cards or bar of soap or two full hands

3. Always ask for sauces and dressings to be served on the side. This way you can control exactly how much gets mixed into the dish.

4. Request brown rice 

5. If an entrée comes with potatoes or bread, ask for steamed veggies instead.

6. Decline the bread basket and skip the appetizer, unless the appetizer is a salad with light vinaigrette dressing.

7. If you order a Vegan pasta dish, ask for half of it to be wrapped up for you before it's served, then eat it for lunch the next day.

8. Drink small lemon hot water with your meal. Skip the calories that are squeezed into juices and soda.

9. No alcohol intake. It's nearly twice as fattening as carbohydrates or protein at seven calories per gram, no matter whether its beer, wine or hard liquor and and wine is preserv with animal products.

10. Pay attention to wording. Dishes labeled with words like deep-fried, pan-fried, basted, batter-dipped, breaded, creamy, crispy, scalloped, alfredo or au gratin are calorie bombs, often containing unhealthy fats and lots of sodium.

Dip the tines of your fork into salad dressing before each bite instead of spooning it over the top of your salad. You'll get all the flavor with a lot less dressing.
