Creating Healthy Places to Live, Work & Play is a grant of the Cayuga County Health Department funded by the NYS Department of Health. The Creating Healthy Places grant is collaborating with local restaurants to highlight healthier choices when dining out. In addition to the Dine Out with Healthy Choices project, we have created community gardens, improved local walking and biking trails and are facilitating “Complete Streets” designs and policies in Cayuga County towns and villages. A complete street is designed to be safe and accessible for all users regardless of age or ability. Complete streets create livable communities.

If you know you’re dining out, eat lighter earlier in the day. • Choose grilled, baked, broiled, blackened, steamed or poached. • Pick your splurge: appetizer, wine or dessert? • Save half your entrée before eating. Better yet, have wait staff wrap half the entrée before bringing it to the table. • Share entrées, appetizers and/ or desserts. • Choose small plates or half-portions. • Order a-la-carte. • Substitute fruit or veggie sides for higher calorie sides. • Pick whole grain options such as: BREADS: rye, whole wheat, corn tortillas SALADS: wheatberry, quinoa • Order low-calorie or non-calorie beverages. • Order small drinks and skip the refills. • Use nutritional information when available. • Savor your food, eat mindfully. • Enjoy foods you wouldn’t make at home. • Eat Local – Buy Local – Support your local eateries and farmers.
