If you’re on your fat loss journey but due to unavoidable reasons, have to eat out and you do not want to derail your progress. Here are some strategies to help you minimize your caloric consumption while having an enjoyable dining experience:
Step 1
Eat something and then go out. I know it’s a meal outside but eating something satiating before leaving home will help take care of unnecessary cravings and will minimize chances of bingeing.
Step 2
Keep a water bottle with you to keep yourself hydrated and drink water before putting anything else in your mouth.
Step 3
Look for soups without cream as your first meal. If not available or you don’t like that, go for a salad with some grilled or boiled protein source added to it such as grilled chicken, grilled tofu, fish or egg. Remember to choose low-calorie dressing for salad.

Step 4
You would most likely feel full by now. If you’re still in a mood for the main course, go for small serving of chapati/rice/noodles along with some curry or dal.
Step 5
Give dessert a pass if possible. Else share or keep your serving small to avoid influx of large amount of calories all at once.
Step 6
Try to be active throughout the day. May be 10k steps would help. Try to do it before or after dining outside. The idea of a meal outside at the end of the day is to have better connections. Remember that.
