Fiber in the Restaurant

Create your own: Many restaurants offer two or three vegetable selections, which can often change daily. Ask for a plate of these specials to make it easy to get MORE!

Choose the right combos: Many restaurants offer soup/salad/sandwich options to mix and match.  Try the vegetable soup, or order extra veggies on your sandwich (try sliced peppers, cucumbers and avocados in addition to lettuce and tomato).  Or pick a salad for a variety of fruit and veggie options. Remember to order the dressing on the side for calorie control.

Things that sizzle:  Order sizzling options on the menu that include lots of vegetables like stir fry or fajita entrees.

Potatoes: Instead of ordering a baked potato, order a sweet potato which has a few more grams of fiber.
