Is Eating At Home Healthier Than Dining Out?

Answer – It depends on the consumer.

When cooking at home, you are in control of what ingredients you add to your meals. This provides you with a greater opportunity to be aware of your eating habits and choose healthier foods. It is more likely that your meals will contain fewer calories, sugar, and salt. When dining out, consumers are more likely to add menu items they wouldn’t usually eat at home, like a cocktail, bread basket, or dessert. People are also more likely to finish their entire meal at a restaurant rather than save what they didn’t eat for leftovers.

But eating at home doesn’t mean eating healthy will happen every time. Be aware of what you are putting into your meals. We have been known to add a little extra sugar, salt, or butter to our recipes to enhance the flavors. When you are grocery shopping, be aware of what ingredients are in your prepackaged foods. Look at the nutrition label and find foods with limited ingredients, ingredients you can pronounce, and go for items with limited or no added sugar and salt.

When cooking at home be aware of the ingredients you add. Strive for eating at home at least 6-7 days a week. I understand that we all need a break from the kitchen, so if you choose to head out, check out these 7 Tips for Healthy Dining Out.
