The fact is that eating outside the home might be necessary sometimes when the family is busy, or as sort of fun and entertainment at other times. In order to make the experience fun and useful at the same time:

- Choose a restaurant that offers special food for children.

- Ask for the children menu.

- Before you order, ask about the food preparation.

- Allow your child to choose what he wants

- Let your child eats one of his favorite dishes, rather than having new dishes.

Here are some tips to help you take the appropriate and healthy options while eating outside the home with your child:

- Ask first for a dish of salad.

- Avoid mayonnaise on burgers and sandwiches and replace it by ketchup, mustard, or BBQ sauce.

- When you order a pizza, choose a thin one with vegetables.

- Ask for milk, fruit juice or water instead of soft drinks.

- Ask them to serve the drinks with food and not before it.

- order grilled and boiled food and stay away from the fried one.

- Avoid foods rich in fat and calories.

- If the regular meal is too large for your child, let him share it with another child or with you.

- Choose healthy dessert like fruit salad or milk-flavored ice cream instead of cakes and chocolate.

It has become common today to order food to the house, especially if you have not had the opportunity to cook something at home or if you just want some change. In all cases, choose wisely. Here is some of what you can order:

- All types of salads.

- Grilled chicken sandwich.

- A small piece of hamburger with vegetables (without mayonnaise and fried potatoes)

- Avoid mayonnaise and the sour cream

- Thin pizza with vegetables.

- Roast potatoes, baked beans, corn or mashed potato

Children are exposed to a lot of temptations when they are eating outside the home or when they order food to the house. Therefore, the choice of healthy food always remains the right choice.
