734.0. "traveling and eating out" by TLE::TLE::D_CARROLL (a woman full of fire) Wed Apr 15 1992 21:27

    Next month I'll be travelling to attend a conference - any tips on
    eating light and healthy in restaraunts?  In the past I've always
    looked forward to these conferences because I could eat out for three
    meals a day - YAY! - but now I'm kind of dreading it.

734.1Just like home, but no dishes!YAHOOS::VASQUEZWed Apr 15 1992 22:2111
Traveling can be a real challenge when you are "eating healthy"! ;-)  I have 
found, though, that more and more restaurants are accomodating us.  The way I
approach meals on the road is the same way I would at home.  Lots of fruit 
plates, pasta with a light sauce, broiled or baked poultry and fish. I order 
everything with dressing or sauce on the side. For breakfast I usually end up 
with cereal and fruit.  

For me it is a real treat to find good food while I am away from home.  It means
I don't have to shop, prepare, or clean up after myself! ;-o

There is a book out (sorry, I can't remember the title) that deals with exactly
this subject.  It talks about the kinds of foods to avoid and to order in all
kinds of restaurants.  It categorizes the restaurants by cuisine, too (chinese,
mex, french, american, etc.)  It also gives estimations of caloric/fat content
for typical menu items.  And, it gives tips on how to order to reduce the fat
and calories without resorting to bland and boring.

    Sounds like just what i need - can you wrack your memory a little more
    and see if you can come up with the title?
    
    D!

I've lost touch with the person that had a copy, but I remember him saying that
he found it in one of the book stores around the corner from the Harvard Coop.
