 | | 6 / 9 6. Be cuisine-savvy
Clueless when it comes to ethnic fare? "All cuisines have their fried foods, their starchy foods, and cooking techniques that add too many extra calories to otherwise healthful food," notes McQuillan, so the trick is to go for the healthiest choices:
- Chinese: Anything steamed -- vegetables, tofu, fish, chicken, dumplings -- sauces on the side
- French: Meat, poultry or seafood en brochette or grilled, sauces on the side
- Indian: Chicken or seafood Tandoori, lentil, curry dishes, basmati rice
- Italian: Pasta primavera, mussel marinara, spaghetti with tomato sauce, grilled seafood, thin-crust pizza
- Japanese: Sushi, sashimi, teriyaki, yakitori, miso soup
- Thai: Glass noodles, green papaya salad, grilled or steamed meats
- Vietnamese: Rice-paper wraps, fish and chicken soups
