Key Takeaway: Restaurant dishes are prepared for taste, meaning heavy butter and oil are standard. As a rule of thumb, add 150–250 calories of unlisted cooking fat when estimating restaurant meals.
Smart Strategies for Dining Out on a Diet
- Order Sauces & Dressings on the Side: Dip your fork before each bite rather than pouring dressings over the salad.
- Prioritize Grilled Lean Proteins: Ask for grilled chicken, sirloin, or white fish prepared dry or with minimal oil.
- Snap a Photo with Cal AI: Capture the plate for an instant volumetric and calorie approximation.
