Here are a few healthy options to get you buy for awhile. There are plenty more healthy options in these restaurants and more restaurants that are healthy. You just need to ask yourself, what is worth the calories and what is not? Is it worth what you have been working for or to gain that extra pound? Healthy foods can be tasty and satisfying if you let them be and who knows, if you eat enough of it you may actually start craving healthy foods!
*If all else fails, get a salad with dressing on the side!
Jason's Deli: Craving a sandwich? order the half sandwich (whole wheat bread) with a side of fruit or healthy soup. Their salad bar is great, you can put all kinds of stuff in there to satisfy your cravings... sweet/salty/crunchy.
Genghis Grill: If you build your own bowl, put all meat and veggies and fill the sauce cup half way and either order brown rice or preferably no carb at all (especially if you are going out for dinner - don't do carbs). You can also choose do make the Genghis Grill "build a Genghis heart bowl".
Chipotle/Freebirds: order their salad and put meet and veggies in there - no cheese or sour cream. (if you must have one of those, tell them to put a LITTLE cheese). They also have whole wheat tortillas if you are craving a burrito, just make sure to only add meat, veggies and beans.
Jimmy Johns: You can order any sandwich at JJ and tell them to make it a LETTUCE WRAP. Make sure you make light on the cheese or none at all.
Tex-Mex Restaurants: Take it from someone who loves Mexican food, the fajitas are just as satisfying! Order fajitas with no tortilla. It is hard to go to Mexican Restaurants without eating some chips and salsa, so just make sure you stick with 5-8 chips before your dinner!
Smoothie King: SK has great healthy options for people who need something easy and quick, especially if you are going to be on the road.
BBQ Joints: BBQ is great for going to eat a tasty healthy meal! Order whatever meat you want, just no bread with it. For your sides, order all veggies - no carbs (like potatoes or mac and cheese....I know, I know... Sorry). Make sure to get the BBQ sauce on the side or ask them to be light on the sauce ( typically has lots of sodium and sugar in it).
Red Lobster: For all of you seafood fans, here is your solution and possibly going to be your favorite! Red Lobster carries a selection called, "the light house selection". Order off that and you will have a tasty, heart healthy meal! If you must have a roll (in which I don't blame you), only have on during dinner - NOT before or that will just make it more tempting to have another.
