Eating in restaurants on a weekly – even daily – basis is a reality for most UAE residents. Yet, dining out is where we’re most likely to make poor food choices, according to Dubai-based nutritionist Carole Holditch
“Portion sizes are bigger and people want value for money – they’ve paid for it, so they feel they should eat it,” she says. But there is a way to eat out, enjoy your food and watch your calories.
Each week, Holditch will guide you through the menus of Dubai’s restaurants, sorting the fattening from the filling. You can get started today with her first tip, which makes the most of those big Dubai portions.
“If you’re having pizza for dinner, avoid carbs during the day. Then take half home and have it for lunch the next day,” recommends Holditch.
