How to Eat Healthy at Bonefish Grill

It can be tough to stick to a diet when you eat at a restaurant. But staying healthy is possible if you make wise choices. Famous for its fish and with locations across the United States, Bonefish Grill's variety of grilled fishes and low-fat accompaniments make healthy eating possible--as long as you avoid temptation.

Instructions

1. Start your meal at Bonefish Grill with the ahi tuna sashimi appetizer. The fried calamari or shrimp with feta cheese appetizers may be delicious, but they're also packed with extra fat.

2. Skip soup because corn chowder is too creamy. Instead, have a Bonefish house salad with the citrus herb vinaigrette on the side.

3. Match grilled fish or seafood with one of Bonefish Grill's signature sauces for your main dish. Go for an omega-3 fatty acid boost with Atlantic salmon, or aim for lower fat with rainbow trout or sea scallops. Pair your choice with the warm mango salsa instead of a rich sauce like lemon butter.

4. Opt for meat instead of seafood if you prefer, but don't be fooled by sizes. Even though the filet mignon is 8 oz. and the sirloin steak is 10 oz., the filet mignon contains more grams of fat than the sirloin. Have the latter if you decide on meat.

5. Pair your Bonefish Grill meal with a side of steamed vegetables rather than garlic mash or potatoes au gratin.

6. Order one dessert for the whole table. Sure, the chocolate macadamia nut brownie cake is decadent, but you've eaten a healthy meal so far and can afford to treat yourself.

Tips & Warnings

• You can ask for substitutions to make menu items healthy. For example, have the Pan Asian sauce on your fish without the wasabi cream.

• Bonefish Grill menu items may vary slightly from location to location.
