Welcome back to F + K. This episode is about take-out suggestions. Take out and food delivery has been our new lifestyle since February  2020, it seems. We don' trust the pandemic and the people who often see this as a hoax. Those are the people who luckily have not lost anyone in their circle, and I am thankful for them. You can still enjoy the comfort of your surrounding with some great takeout from your favorite place. It may not replace the experience of a restaurant, but we have adjusted well. Take-out food preparation has unique challenges such as appearance, taste, and consistency, not to mention the proper packaging, often of low quality. There is nothing more detrimental than a  $ 17 pasta dish in a 57 cents container. So you open your phone,  the menu pos up, and think about what to order. You also would like some healthy options along with taste. You can do a couple of things: menus online may have symbols or designations regarding healthier options, especially fast-food establishments. The list often describes some steps on the methodology,  but not all the ingredients.

Ask for help.  Restaurant staff can guide you through the menu navigation, ingredient listing, and preparation methods. They need to make a sale and want to  keep you satisfied, especially if you are a repeat customer.  Ask about the portion size when ordering for dinner time. Good dining habits climb in quantity  during lunch and decrease during the evening for digestive reasons.  Overeating in late hours, it's uncomfortable and raises blood sugar levels, even if you do not have diabetes. Ask for sauce on the side.  Remember that many of those dipping sauces carry many calories because loaded with high fructose and sodium.
