Healthy dinner choices

We don't always have a choice when it comes to eating. Whether you are on an airplane or at a conference dinner, your meal might be served to you with little consideration to your healthy diet.

But when you can make substitutions to the menu, here are some suggestions:

Instead of: Eat:
Hamburger, hot dogs Lean chicken, fish, veggie burgers
