Eat Healthy At Baker'S Square







When you think of restaurants, Baker's Square probably doesn't make the list when looking for one that offers healthy entrees. Fortunately, there are a few items that are on the lighter side of the menu that you can feel good about eating. Unfortunately, that doesn't include a piece of pie.


Instructions








1. Avoid eating the bread with the meal. Even though it is fresh, it is empty calories, especially if you add butter.


2. Choose items that are grilled or baked rather than fried or breaded. An item like grilled fish is a healthier alternative to battered fish with just as much flavor. You could save yourself almost 700 calories and about 20 grams of fat.


3. Stay away from extra cheese and cream sauces. Those will add extra fat and calories to your meal. If you are viewing cheese as a protein source, consider a meal made with grilled shrimp, fish or chicken instead.


4. Look for the sensible or smart choices part of the menu. If those are not available, try the Lite Appetite section made for smaller appetites. Though it is not the ideal method for eating healthy, you could save yourself half the fat and calories by eating half the portion you normally would.


5. Choose light or olive oil and vinegar as your salad dressing. Stay away from regular ranch or honey mustard dressing. You could save yourself roughly 32 grams of fat and 300 extra calories per serving of either one.
