Q Got any healthy takeout tips?
—Gabrielle P.
A: Isn’t it nice when someone else prepares your food once in a while? And takeout can be nutritious if you think smart. Pro tip: Portion sizes at restaurants are notoriously huge, so share with a friend or put half in the fridge—two meals for the price of one! The other important thing is to become fluent in “menu-speak.” Certain words can tip you off to high-calorie, high-sodium and high-sugar prep methods. Try to avoid dishes described as “heavy,” “rich,” “creamy,” “crunchy,” “tempura,” “crispy” or “smothered” in anything. Instead, look for terms like “baked,” “steamed,” “roasted,” “broiled,” “grilled,” “poached,” “seared” and “lightly sautéed,” which typically indicate healthier cooking techniques. Here are a few better-for-you takeout swaps that still taste great.
