Eating out tonight? Here are some tips on how to stay dairy free while eating out.

1. Try to get something that probably doesn't have dairy in it. (grilled chicken with rice and vegetables for example) 

2. If your not sure, ask them what's in the food you are ordering. That way, you're sure you know you can eat it with out consequences. 

3. Ask if the server can take out or substitute an ingredient in your meal. For example, order your pasta with a tomato sauce instead of a cream sauce. 

4. If ordering salad or soups, try to choose the lighter version. (Caesar dressing instead of ranch, chilli instead of tomato soup) 

5. Skip the cheese. If you get a dish without dairy, and they ask if you want cheese on that, say no. It's better not to ruin a good thing. 

6. Choose a restaurant with dairy free options. Choose a place that caters to allergies, vegan, and vegetarians. If you can't find a place like that, see if they can allow you to bring your own food in.
