At fast casual restaurantsand all restaurants reallyI advise focusing on veggie-heavy dishes.
I’d also ask for an apple instead of chips as a side.
When we eat at a table, sitting down, we naturally eat more mindfully and calmly.
And, we don’t enjoy our food as much!
This is the perfect combination to help with satiety and hold you over until your next meal.
This can also help control the sodium content as most fast-food dressings contain high amounts.
Order off the secret menu (or customize your meal!)
I love that Panera’s menu lends itself so well to customization.
TheLentil Quinoa Bowlsare also a delicious option you might customize with a cage-free egg.
