“Eating out without Pigging Out,” was published in Tufts University’s Health and Nutrition Letter on February 2008. The letter states numerous ways to help reduce the risk of unhealthy eating while dining out at any restaurant. At the beginning of the letter, the author discusses how Americans more frequently eat out today than in the past and as a result Americans are more interested in viewing nutritional facts in restaurant menus. Although laws have not been passed requiring restaurants to post these facts, some popular restaurant chains do post nutritional facts in their menus or on their websites. The author of this letter also mentions creative ways to make yourself eat healthier, such as influencing a friend to share a meal with you, having the waiter box half of your meal before you even receive it, and possibly asking for some dressings and sauces on the side instead of directly on your meal. Then, the letter concludes with what foods can be high calories and what types of foods to stay away from at certain types restaurants that serve certain foods like Italian, Chinese, American, Seafood, Steakhouses, or Mexican restaurants.
