Eating healthy at a restaurant can be tricky. Menus are full of tempting choices, and it’s easy to stray from your goals. We understand that healthy eating doesn’t have to mean boring food. This is why we make it easy to enjoy tasty meals that are also good for you.
Here are six simple tips to eat healthier when dining out:
Pick Balanced Meals
A healthy meal should include protein, vegetables, and some carbs. At Medina’s Deli, our Heavenly Bowls, grilled steak kebab bowls, and teriyaki chicken dishes are full of fresh ingredients and big flavors.
Choosing meals with a mix of protein, fiber, and healthy carbs can keep you satisfied longer. Including colorful vegetables and whole grains also helps maintain energy and good digestion throughout the day.
Customize Your Order
It’s okay to ask for changes. Swap fries for a side salad or choose a whole-grain wrap. We are happy to adjust your meal so it fits yourhealthy eating goals.
Making small adjustments to your order can significantly reduce calories and increase nutrients. You can even ask for extra vegetables or lighter sauces to make meals healthier and tastier.
Watch Portion Sizes
Restaurant portions are often large. Share your meal with a friend or save half for later. Our portions at Medina’s Deli are generous and perfect for enjoying without overeating.
Paying attention to portions can help you stay full without eating too much in one sitting. Consider splitting an entree or packing leftovers to enjoy a second meal at home comfortably.
Choose Fresh Ingredients
Fresh food is key to a healthy restaurantmeal. From crisp vegetables in our tacos and empanadas to freshly grilled meats, Medina’s Deli uses quality ingredients in every dish.
Fresh ingredients provide essential vitamins and minerals, making your meal both nutritious and flavorful. They also support your immune system and contribute to overall better health while tasting amazing.
Limit Sugary Drinks
Sweet drinks can add extra calories. Try our Naked juices or Jarritos sodas instead. They taste great and are a better choice for eating healthy.
Choosing drinks with natural flavors and less sugar can help you maintain energy without extra unnecessary calories.
Staying hydrated with healthier options also helps digestion and keeps your mind feeling sharp and alert.
Listen to Your Body
Eat slowly and stop when you’re full. Eating healthy isn’t just about what you eat; it’s also about enjoying your food. We want you to savor every bite.
Paying attention to hunger signals helps prevent overeating and promotes a more mindful, enjoyable dining experience. Taking time to enjoy each flavor also improves digestion and encourages a healthier relationship with food.
