Challenge#17 I will Be Healthy At An Italian Restaurant

Skip the basket bread
Try vegetable appetizers: roasted peppers, mushrooms, artichokes…
Avoid appetizers such as fried mozzarella sticks and choose grilled octopus or calamar instead
Choose the marinara sauce for your pasta and skip the white sauce; Cream-based sauces have far more fat than red sauces
Watch out for pesto. It may be green, but it isn’t as healthy as it looks. Pesto is very high in fat, containing lots of olive oil, cheese and nuts
Get the thinnest crust you can when ordering pizza
Avoid meats that are high in fat like pepperoni and sausage
Avoid high-carb desserts like tiramisu or panna cotta or split it with a friend
Have a scoop of sorbet as dessert
