While the best way to guarantee you're eating good, healthy meals is to make your food yourself, even seasoned home chefs need a little time off here and there. Also, there's something that feels so, so<\/em> good about bypassing your kitchen for the night and letting someone else cook for you.<\/p>\n

You're not the only one leaning into takeout lately. More than 65% of people are ordering in on the regular, according to data from the National Restaurant Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, there's a huge range of options with takeout, from the super healthy to the not-so-great, with plenty in between. "Takeout can be surprisingly healthy or it can be overloaded with fat, salt and calories," Nutritionist Karen Ansel<\/a>, RD, co-author of The Calendar Diet: A Month by Month Guide to Losing Weight While Living Your Life<\/a><\/em>, tells Health<\/em>. "The key is to have a go-to rotation of dishes you know are good for you and delicious rather than just winging it."<\/p>\n

Ordering takeout can even up your healthy eating game. "Despite its bad reputation, take out can also be a great opportunity to eat more healthy foods that you just don't have the time or the motivation to cook for yourself," Ansel says.<\/p>\n

While every restaurant and cuisine is different, you generally want to make sure your takeout includes some produce—ideally a few different types—and has minimal dressings and sauces that run the risk of adding calories, fat, and sodium, Sonya Angelone, RD, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, tells Health<\/em>. "Choose protein and vegetable dishes, and limit extra carbs, since you may get enough carbs during the day already," she advises.<\/p>\n

Don't feel like analyzing the menu every time you want to order takeout? Nutritionists swear these are the healthiest takeout orders to go for, no matter what cuisine you're into.<\/p>\n

Hummus <\/h3>\n
There's plenty to love in this dish of ground-up chick peas mixed with tahini. Hummus provides "a dose of plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fat," Angelone says. Enjoy yours with fresh veggies or a whole wheat pita.<\/p>\n
Fattoush salad <\/h3>\n
This yummy salad features bread pieces and tons of greens—and it's healthier than some of its counterparts. "A Fattoush salad is a better option than a Greek salad, which is loaded with cheese and olives," Angelone says. She recommends enjoying yours with a vinegar dressing to save even more calories.<\/p>\n
