The Best Restaurant Meals for Weight Loss, According to Nutritionists

Yes, you can eat out

If you’re trying to lose weight, cooking at home is an easy way to control calories. Consider that a whopping 92 percent of meals from chain and local restaurants have more calories than the average person should eat in a single meal, according to a Journal of the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics study. But never going out for a meal isn’t really an option, either.

You can stay on the straight and narrow with help from nutrition and diet experts: We asked them to tell us about their favorite weight loss-friendly restaurant meals. From pasta with veggies and shrimp to a Chinese dish that only sounds indulgent, and everything in between, these are their most mouth-watering recommendations. (And while you’re thinking about your diet, don’t miss these six foods skinny people eat all the time.)
