The cuts were fairly large, so I only had half a portion of steak for dinner. The other half I'll eat for lunch today with the leftover veggies. I tried to get away from my usual stir fry vegetables (green pepper, mushrooms and onions) and branched out to zucchini, red pepper and onions. I'm living on the wild side, I know!
I'm only in the office from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. today, then my husband is driving me to Harrisburg for my business trip. Usually, my sister would come with my on business trips. It's nice to have somebody to tag along because the drive is kind of long at 6 hours. It will also be nice because my meetings are over at 4 p.m. tomorrow, so my husband and I will have the rest of the night in Harrisburg.
Since we will be eating out for our meals while out of town, I have dug up some eating out tips from USDA's www.ChooseMyPlate.org.
- Order an appetizer-sized portion or a side dish instead of an entrée.
- Share a main dish with a friend.
- If you can chill the extra food right away, take leftovers home in a "doggy bag."
- When your food is delivered, set aside or pack half of it to go immediately.
- Resign from the "clean your plate club" - when you've eaten enough, leave the rest.
- Ask for salad dressing to be served "on the side" so you can add only as much as you want.
- Order foods that do not have creamy sauces or gravies
- Add little or no butter to your food.
- Choose fruits for dessert most often.
I'm going to use some of those methods to get me through this business trip!
Do you have any other tips for eating out and still staying "on track"?
this looks for delicious!
