Summary: <a href="http://www.beinghealthy.tv/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/112339681_009f4c5268_m1.jpg"></a><br><br> Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moriza/112339681/">moriza</a> via Flickr<br> A lot of people either don’t like to or feel they don’t have the time to cook or wash dishes. After a busy day at work followed by taking the kids to all their activities, the thought of cooking on top of all that seems like too much. Sometimes, we need a reprieve from our daily work and dining out is one way of getting that. The problem is that if we resort to eating out too often, our health can suffer due to the predominantly unhealthy food that is available at many restaurants. But, while eating out is almost always less healthy than preparing your own food, your healthy diet doesn’t have to go out the window when you go out to eat. You can still eat healthy when dining out, if you make better choices.<br> So, in this show, I discuss ways to have healthy meals when eating out. I go over breakfast, lunch and dinner and some general guidelines when dining out.<br> <br> Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, <a href="http://www.restaurant.org/dineout/nutrition.cfm">restaurant.org</a> and <a href="http://www.ucsdnutritionlink.org/articles/archives/fastfood.pdf">uscdnutritionlink.org</a>.<br> I end the show with a voicemail from Megan from <a title="podcastjunky.com" href="http://www.podcastjunky.com">podcastjunky.com</a> and <a title="meanmommiesclub.com" href="http://www.meanmommiesclub.com">meanmommiesclub.com</a> about how to get kids to eat properly on a vegetarian diet.
