Fish is a healthy choice when dining out. Ordering seafood such as salmon
and tuna adds omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. They are a type of polyunsaturated
fat that helps lower your heart disease risk. You’ll also find omega-3s in walnuts
and edamame (soybeans).
3.Avoid Fried Foods and Added Cheese
Eating out often means getting too much saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and calories.
How can you spot the dangers? Saturated fats come mostly from meat and dairy foods.
Tropical oils like palm oil and coconut oil, and butter are also saturated fats.
Cholesterol is found in animal fats. Primarily the saturated fat and the cholesterol
in the foods you eat increase your cholesterol levels.
4.Have a Heart
Some restaurants have tuned into heart-healthy eating. They offer low-fat, low-salt,
low-cholesterol menu items, designated with a heart icon.
Don't confuse this with the favorites icon. That can be a flag for popular, fatty choices.
One delicious heart-healthy option: A grilled fish filet, a natural source of omega-3 fatty
acids.
