EATING OUT

ITALIAN

ANTIPASTI

If  you can get the kind    with    marinated   vegetables  and olives—not  just    meat    and

cheese—go   for it. You don’t   have    to  worry   about   eating  too much    oil;    you’ll

only    wind    up  downing a   few teaspoons   of  it  (about  80  calories),  and it’s

probably    the heart-healthy   kind,   anyway.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE WITH MUSHROOMS

Lean    protein and veggies—a   smart   pick.

GRILLED SALMON WITH A HERBED CRUST

Salmon’s    pretty  much    my  go-to   entrée  wherever    I   eat.

MEATBALLS IN MARINARA SAUCE

Split   a   side    of  these   with    the table.  A   small   meatball    has about   40  calories,   and

lots    of  hunger-squashing    protein.

MINESTRONE

Starting your meal with broth-based soup can reduce your overall calorie intake.
Plus, this usually has beans, which are rich in fibre and protein.

MUSSELS MARINARA

Mussels are high    in  protein and vitamin B.  I   like    the kind    in  marinara    sauce   the

best;   the white   wine    sauce   can sneak   in  too much    butter.
