Many of the major restaurants are offering healthful choices that are also economical.  Instead of selecting entrees that are high in calories, fat, saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and sodium, aim for nutrient rich salads, whole grains and meatless meals that are high in vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytonutrients.  Many restaurants now list nutrition information that can help guide you to healthful choices. One word of caution, check the fine print to determine the portion size. Many calorie counts will not include the optional toppings, salad dressings, etc. which can add calories. All it takes is 100 more calories a day to equal a ten pound weight gain in a year!
