We find eating at home is healthiest, however, that's not always possible.
Many people think salads are a smart choice but if you check the restaurant's website and the nutritional values many salads are higher in calories than other food choices. Therefore, when we know we are going out, I now look up the restaurant on the internet and check the nutritional values of the foods offered so I am prepared when we eat there.
The one restaurant that disappoints me most is Olive Garden. They have a "Garden Fare Menu" with healthy, low calorie entrees they don't offer on their regular menu. If you want to order from the "Garden Fare" menu you have to ask them for it because they keep it at the front desk and don't offer it voluntarily to customers.
Shame on Olive Garden!
