How to ask for healthier options when eating out...

YOU are the paying customer and can request that your meal
is prepared however you like. Here are some examples of
what to tell the waiter to help keep your meal healthy, yet still
enjoyable:

 Could I have that with white breast meat instead of dark meat,
please?

 Could I have my ish grilled instead of fried?

 Could you please go light on the cheese (oil, butter, cream,
etc.)?

 Could I have my baked potato with everything on the side?

 Could I please have my sandwich (or burger) without cheese
and mayonnaise, add extra lettuce, tomatoes and mustard?

 I’d like your low-calorie dressing on the side, please.

 Can you steam the vegetables without any oil or butter,
please?

 Please make my omelet with just the whites and go light on
the cheese.

 May I get half of my meal boxed-up in advance, please?

 Could I have marinara sauce instead of the creamy one used
in this dish?

 Instead of French fries, could you please bring me a salad,
dressing on the side, about 10 minutes before my entrée?

You can get it your way, don't be afraid to ask!
