How to Eat Healthy During Mother’s Day Brunch or Dinner

Whether you’re a mom yourself or someone looking to treat mom to a delicious meal, you may have concerns over how you can celebrate with a big meal while still eating healthy. The first thing to remember, even if you’re set some strict dietary wellness goals for yourself, is that it can be OK to treat yourself sometimes.

But if you want to make sure you don’t overdo things, we have some tips. Taking control of the cooking at home is the best way to make sure you’re eating healthy, but that isn’t always the best way to celebrate Mother’s Day. So, if you’re going out, try these tips instead.

If you’re at a brunch buffet, fill up on vegetables and fruits before getting into the dishes that may contain more calories, sugar or saturated fats.
If possible, replace dessert with fruit.
Choose grilled or steamed dishes over fried.
Don’t overdo the orange juice. If you’re still thirsty, try water.
If you have strict dietary needs, consider contacting the restaurant ahead of time to see how they can accommodate your needs.
