How to Eat Less Salt when Eating Out
When you eat out:
• Ask for food cooked with no salt.
• Avoid butter, cheese and sauces.
• Avoid fried foods— choose grilled, baked or steamed foods.
• Choose oil and vinegar for your salad instead of pre-made dressings.
• Limit fast foods or choose menu items with less sodium.
• Avoid bacon, sausage and ham.
Remember, small changes in your eating can make a big difference in salt intake. Your taste adjusts over time and you will get used to eating less salt.
