Im going out to a restaurant for a special meal, what can I do?
The beauty of Food Optimising is that eating out fits in perfectly with the plan. Although its difficult to give accurate Syn values for restaurant meals (as each restaurant will cook the same dish in a different way), choosing Free Food options where possible (eg steak, potatoes, vegetables) will ensure your meal is as Food Optimising-friendly as possible. In the searchable Useful features section youll find lots of eating out features, packed with advice and tips on different cuisines. Use the average everyday foods search on Syns Online to find average Syn values for a variety of different dishes. For example, use Chinese or Italian as your keyword then enter the dish, eg chow mein, this will give you a few ideas of what to choose before you get to the restaurant. Dont forget you can always choose Flexible Syns, click here to find out about the guilt free way to enjoy your special occasion. Lastly, dont worry too much – enjoy your meal out and when you get home just go back to Food
