“We were out to eat and I feel like this was the best option- a mixed veggie salad with dr preagar vegan chicken and a veggie empanada. I only ate half the salad and 1/4 of the empanada. It was a bigger portion then I expected!”

“It sounds like you made a mindful choice by opting for a mixed veggie salad with vegan chicken and a veggie empanada. Portion sizes at restaurants can often be larger than expected so its great that you were conscious of your intake and only ate half of the salad and a portion of the empanada. Keep up the excellent work in making nutritious choices even when dining out”
