Chapter 18: Eating Well When Away from Home

Chapter Summaries

Where you dine out depends on what you want to eat, where you are, how much time you have, and your budget. Your knowledge of My Pyramid and the Dietary Guidelines can guide your food choices. Order a variety of nutrient-rich foods, be cautious about portion sizes, and understand preparation methods and menu terms so you can order carefully to control calories and fat. Good manners make eating out pleasant for everyone. During a visit to a restaurant, be patient and considerate. Paying the bill courteously is part of restaurant manners.
