I'm going to happy hour after work, worried about the unhealthy food. Any advice?

Question

What are safe happy hour choices that won't absolutely destroy my diet? What should I watch out for? The menu has things like quesadillas, mini-burgers, pizzas, etc. I'm planning on drinking water. Thanks for your advice!!

Answer 1

Most places DO have things like carrot sticks or such, and almost guaranteed they have ranch dressing...so dip the carrot sticks in ranch dressing and I will wager you'll not only have a great (FAIRLY) healthy snack (more so than the items you listed), but you won't be the only one eating them either...they get popular FAST! :)

Answer 2

lighten up dear, worrying all the time about what you are going to eat isn't good for your health either.  Have a beer, alcohol in moderation is good for your heart.

Answer 3

Hmm.. why not just enjoy the food in moderation since you aren't planning on drinking any empty calories it shouldn't matter that much.

Answer 4

its ok to splurge once in a while but if you must have a salad every menu has a salad or have a mixed drink with fruits

Answer 5

Order a Virgin Mary... the tomato juice is very healthy and comes with a celery stick.....  You can also order plain orange, cranberry or grapefruit juice at a bar....See if they have chicken wraps on the menu, or egg-roll, or take the mini-burgers out of the buns.  Quesadillas aren't that bad for you (in moderation).  Order a small house salad (usually just a few dollars)

Answer 6

Cheating once wont hurt..Or you could look on the menu for the heathier choices. Most menus have like a low carb type section. Or just eat a salad.

Answer 7

Have a salad with light dressing. Or have a grilled chicken or tuna wrap.

Answer 8

Doesn't sound like you have much fun.  A few drinks and a snack will not destroy your diet..only eating like that everyday would.

Answer 9

Grilled chicken tenders, salads, nachoes and salsa, fresh veggies and hummus.

Answer 10

well ask for a salad or some celery or something, cause most places have those things.
