Eat light at the restaurant: at the pizzeria, pasta or pizza?
Hum, the smell of hot lasagna, the pizza that just came out of the oven or pasta with pesto ... We must recognize that in cold and wet weather, the Italian restaurant has something to seduce. To avoid that it annihilates all the efforts made to keep the line, it is still necessary to make the right choices. Starting with the big lunchtime dilemma: is it better to order pasta or pizza?
False friends to avoid
Know that the least caloric in an Italian restaurant is the pasta dish. But watch out for the sauce. Choose the Bolognese and not the carbonara, far too rich. In addition, start with a small salad entry, just to absorb some fiber and promote satiety. If you order a pizza, prefer a vegetable-based one and ban the one with three or even four cheeses.
Above all, pay attention to the quantities. In pizzerias, dishes are often served in large plates. It is not because you have paid or you do not like to waste that you have to finish your meal until the last crumb.
The opinion of the nutritionist:
"It is better to focus on thin-baked pizzas. You have to take one with chicken, meat and if possible accompany a salad of raw vegetables. But as for the quiche, we will quickly be hungry after. Better order a pasta dish and take a separate sauce made from tomatoes. The seafood risottos are very good too. In an Italian restaurant, it is especially recommended to avoid cold cuts. "
