The holidays are a busy time of year. So much planning, shopping, wrapping, and celebrating that some nights you just can\u2019t even imagine cooking one more meal for the family. Should you dial up your favorite takeout place to save the day? Absolutely. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

When you do<\/em> order takeout, though, it can mean a hit to your wallet and to your health if you don\u2019t plan accordingly. And with all the extra holiday treats you will undoubtedly be consuming, keeping your takeout fare as healthy as possible is a great way to feel your best throughout the holidays. Here are our tips for making your break from cooking successful.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Read the menu thoroughly<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

If you\u2019re trying to keep your holidays lean, it\u2019s important to peruse any menu with an eye for healthier choices. Anything baked or roasted will generally be a good option, and choosing a lean protein such as fish or chicken is another great way to cut down on unwanted fats and calories. Avoid selecting items with the terms \u201ccrispy,\u201d \u201cbreaded,\u201d or \u201ccrusty.\u201d Many restaurants give veggie side choices as well. Ordering out doesn\u2019t always have to mean choosing the healthiest selections, and eating foods you crave in moderation is perfectly fine. However, since the holidays tend to be a time of indulgence, doing your research and making healthy choices<\/a> is key this time of year. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Check out those portion sizes<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Most restaurants are guilty of giving patrons way too much food for one person. If you plan to order from a restaurant where sharing is an option, use the opportunity to cut down on costs and food waste. Using your own plates at home for your takeout meal will also help you see just how large a restaurant\u2019s portion is.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Watch the dairy<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

We all love cheesy and gooey things, but restaurant kitchens are consistently quite liberal with adding ooey gooey goodness to their comfort foods. Too much cheese or dairy isn\u2019t good for anyone, as this is a huge source of fat and calories (not to mention tummy aches and even acne). If you\u2019re menu item with cheese, don\u2019t be scared to request that cheese on the side. That way you can control the amount you consume. Otherwise, just say no to dishes that seem to have a lot of cheese, butter, or cream.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Plate yourself<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Le Diabetes Plate Method<\/a> is a great way to see if your meal is balanced\u2014and you don\u2019t have to be a diabetic to benefit from well-balanced nutrition. Try to fill half your plate with non-starchy vegetables such as greens, a salad, or broccoli. One quarter of your plate should be filled with lean protein and the rest should contain complex carbohydrates like whole grains. Ask about whole grain and vegetable options if you don\u2019t see any listed on the menu.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n

Support local<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

Ordering takeout from a local establishment is a great way to support your community business owners (and their delicious food). However, make sure you follow these tips to have the best experience for you and the greatest benefit to the restaurant and their employees:<\/p>\n<\/div>
