3 top tips for dining out
Eating out can seem daunting when you’re trying to stick to your Budget, but it doesn’t have to be a minefield!
You’ve mastered cooking fresh, healthy meals at home, but staying on track when eating out provides a whole new set of challenges. When you’re not able to control exactly what’s on your plate, it can be all too easy to panic and assume you can’t enjoy a meal out. Think again! Read our tips on how to tackle social eating…
In a restaurant
Before you go out, check the menu online. You’ll be able to decide what you’re going to eat beforehand by using the WW app to check the Points® value of each dish, and choosing what works best for you. Remember that you can always use your Weekly Points Budget if something more indulgent catches your eye!
At a dinner party
There’s no need to demand a special meal be made especially for you, as no food is off limits. Choose which course you’d like to splash out on – it might be a delicious starter or a sweet pud – and aim to eat smaller portions of the other courses to stay on track. Or, choose to eat more of the low Points or ZeroPoint™ foods available, such as veggie sides or salads, to allow room for any extras you might fancy.
