How do I make healthy choices when I eat out?
The best thing to do is to plan ahead. If you know you are
meeting a friend out for dinner, it’s better to eat small meals
earlier, rather than to skip breakfast or lunch to “save up” for
dinner. Usually if you skip previous meals that day, it’s easy to
overindulge at a restaurant when you’re overly hungry. You can
also use the menu on the restaurant’s web site (if they have
one) to plan your order ahead of time. The Burger King website
has an interactive section where you can put in a possible meal
and it will give you the number of calories, as well as the fat,
carb, and sodium content. You can do this yourself at
www.bk.com/en/us/menu-nutrition/index.html.
What should I consider when eating out?
Super size and value meals often translate into overindulgence, so it’s better to stick with regular-size servings. If you
get a small burger (hamburger or with cheese), and it doesn’t fill
you up, get a second choice only after you’ve finished all of the
food in the first round. Plain burgers and sandwiches make better selections because extra sauces, cheese, and dressings add
fat, salt, and calories. Breaded chicken and fish sandwiches
usually add more fat and calories than plain burgers as well. If
you choose a salad, add grilled chicken and ask for the dressing
on the side so that you can control the amount, which will help
make the salad healthier. It is important to find out about the
restaurant’s portion sizes, big portions don’t always mean great
quality. It’s also important to note that just because it may
seem cheaper to order a bigger size or portion, the repeated
nature of doing so may catch up to you in weight and health
problems gained.
How do I know a high-calorie meal by its name?
Understanding what you are ordering is important when going
to any type of restaurant. The preparation methods listed in the
following table are easy clues as to whether a menu item is a
healthier option or not. If you want to choose a higher-calorie
entrée, balance it with a lower-calorie side dish and/or dessert. For example, choose Fettuccine Alfredo (which is one of
the higher fat/calorie dishes on the table), with fresh fruit to
complete the meal instead of a breadstick. Another piece of
advice: if you need help curbing a big appetite, order a salad or
broth-based (not cream-based) soup right away and go easy on
the dressings and dips.

Composting Update
University Dining Service has been composting kitchen and post
consumer waste returned to the dishroom in each facility since January 2010. The tonnage of compostable materials diverted from the
landfill by University Dining and sent to a commercial compost site:
Calendar Year 2010 – 90.7 tons
Calendar Year 2011 to Oct 25th - 54.4 tons
(Student Center Closed during this time)
University Dining hopes that this year we will see successful practices implemented to get more post-consumer food waste into the
compost stream and out of the landfill. Sustainability is everybody’s
responsibility, so please take only what you know you can eat- you
can always go back for seconds!
