What to eat in the evening if you go out and on a diet? Today I am listing a series of healthy or at least not too fattening dishes that you can choose to eat in the evening when they invite you out for dinner or you went out with friends. In fact, one of the “side effects”, if we can say so, of the diet is that it limits us a lot the freedom to eat what we want (and I really mean what we want, without any form of calorie control or macronutrients) and secondly, social life.
In fact, eating is a form of conviviality, while to stay on a successful diet it is often necessary to measure everything, cook meals from home, pay attention to portions: with the result that it is often preferred to limit dinners with friends and go out.

In this article we see how to eat in the evening if we are out and we are also on a diet: not when we have a free meal or cheat day (it’s easy there, we go too far), but when we are trying not to go too far and be careful about what to eat. Here are my tips, divided by “local”.

WHAT TO EAT IN THE EVENING IF YOU ARE ON A DIET AND FIND YOURSELF…
In pizzeria: the winner is the pizza marinara (ie without mozzarella), not too big (max 25 in diameter) with rocket or grilled vegetables or fresh mushrooms. We travel between 900 and 1100 calories. Otherwise half a pizza of the topping we want, plus a mixed salad. Or a small margherita pizza (max 20 cm in diameter). And to drink water or light drinks such as Coca cola zero.

At the Chinese restaurant:   soybean oil, remember this. It’s all stir-fried with lots of soybean oil, so no spring rolls or shrimp clouds. Better than Cantonese rice or soy vermicelli or rice vermicelli with vegetables, considering half a small portion (you know the dish they bring you? Eh, less than half), plus a small half portion of shrimp or chicken with bamboo and mushrooms, Almond or sweet and sour chicken and a serving of sesame spinach or sauteed vegetables or sauteed seaweed. Avoid serving the sauce by spoonfuls and avoid dessert. This way you dine around 900 calories.

And the Japanese one: sashimi, sashimi, sashimi, sashimi, sashimi. First you can have a miso soup, then eat your sashimi, and finally you can indulge in a scoop of matcha tea ice cream. In this way you have made a dinner of about 600 calories. Extremely feasible and healthy. Otherwise, a serving of soba noodles , a plain mixed salad, and a glass of wine – that’s around 700 calories.

At the Pub: There are many ways to save calories at the pub. You can have a salad, which is now practically present in all pubs, perhaps by cutting an ingredient (cheese, corn, pickles) with a medium beer; otherwise, a plate burger, with a side of salad, plus a small beer. On beers, choose low alcohol and not high: the calories of the high one are double . In this way, you have a dinner of about 500 calories. Instead, no to cocktails, mixed fried foods and snacks.

From fast food: you can order a Caesar Salad or a regular hamburger / cheeseburger, not big, nor mac. To this dish you can add: a small milkshake (23 cl) + a fruit bag or a small portion of chips and a zero coke. This way you don’t exceed 550/600 calories.

From the kebabbaro: a small kebab, with harissa and yogurt sauce plus a zero coke or a small beer. Consider 700 calories. But if you add more sauces and the kebab is large, they exceed 1100!
