Tips for healthy eating while eating out at sit-down restaurants include replacing any sodas or juices with water, ordering mustard on sandwiches and burgers instead of mayo, skipping the dessert, saying no to free bread before and during the meal, avoiding appetizers and ordering half portions. These are simple ways to avoid eating excess calories and fat while saving room for your meal.
