It is however important to make healthy choices when eating out especially after this festive period. We narrow down 7 essential tips for eating out.

2. Choices

Choose between an alcoholic drinks and dessert instead of having both. If you are to eat something that is not quite a healthy choice then let it be a single item rather than two or more bad choices.

Eat small portion sizes.

5. Sides

Go for the side salad rather than the chips or burgers.

It is often said that variety is the spice of life. Choose meals that offer a variety of food groups.
