Olive Garden, Kabuki (Japanese Restaurant), Texas Roadhouse, Red Lobster, Cheesecake Factory, Applebees, and IHOP are all lists of great eateries
Several restaurant chains are assisting in helping consumers chose healthier meals on menu items. Restaurants are doing their best in providing low-calorie menu items to better serve their customers.
IHOP is providing a "Simple & Fit" meal by having fewer than 600 calories. One of which has spinach and mushroom with melted provolone cheese, sliced tomato, egg substitute and green onions. Applebee's is also participating and offering better options for their consumers. They added a total of three dishes that have fewer than 550 calories. An example of a dish that is less than 550 calories is a Roasted Garlic Sirloin, 7 oz. garlic marinated sirloin steak with sautéed onions. This dish is also served with herbed potatoes and a grilled Portobello mushroom which is filled with creamed spinach. This past January, Benihana offered two Chef's Specials that are more healthful protein rather than something that is low-calorie.

National Restaurant Association Director of Nutrition, Joy Dubost specializes in figure-friendly lifestyles. As a national medalist in masters' level figure skating, she also assists in helping diners find healtier options for their figures. An initiative that she is participating in is the NRA's Kids Live Well campaign, in which it encourages restaurants to boost the selection of healthy dishes for children. She explains that while eating out for breakfast, before reaching out for the pancake syrup, she suggests adding fruits with your pancakes or waffles. This provides good nutrition, fiber, and moisture. Having an omlette full of garden vegetables helps assist in your diet. During lunch, she advises that you limit the consumption of high-calorie fried foods and also learn to recognize terms on menu such as flash-fried, pan-fried, deep-fried and lightly fried. The best advise that she gives is eating slowly and enjoying the whole experience of dining out.
