Planning what she eats is her main key to eating out, but even when she plans a \u201ccheat\u201d meal, Michaela still looks for menus that feature nutritious choices. <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI like to know what my options are beforehand, so I don’t get overwhelmed or tempted by the unhealthier options,\u201d she shares. \u201cI want to know if they either serve a good steak, or some type of healthy seafood dish.\u201d<\/p>\n Planning a meal out beforehand not only helps Michaela satisfy her taste buds, but also her nutrition goals. \u201cThen I can also plan if I want to get some sides, like a bowl of veggies or salad to increase the nutritional value.\u201d <\/p>\n To prepare for dining out, Sparrow also eats strategically ahead of time by reaching for high-protein snacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI try to have one in the afternoon before I go out, so I\u2019m not starving beforehand, and I don\u2019t overeat,\u201d Michaela says. <\/p>\n Take a look at some of Michaela\u2019s favorite healthy restaurants in Newcastle, New South Wales below. <\/p>\nMichaela Sparrow’s Favorite Healthy Restaurants in Newcastle, Australia<\/h2>\n
