When faced with a buffet and trying to eat right, just keep a few things in mind, and you'll do fine, advises Heather Dorsey, registered dietitian at Upstate.
[00:00:00]Host Amber Smith: Here's some expert advice from registered dietitian Heather Dorsey from Upstate Medical University. What's the healthiest way to navigate a buffet?
[00:00:11]Heather Dorsey, RD: When you're faced with a buffet, you're going to have plenty of protein choices, lots of starchy choices, and probably some minimal vegetable choices. Hopefully we want more vegetable choices than not. But we also want to look at some of the protein and the starchy choices to make sure that they have some things that are beneficial. Like, look for things that have nuts in them or brown rice or wild rice or even beans. Those things are going to increase your fiber, and they're going to keep you more satisfied and will make it just more enjoyable and healthy for you.
