Making Healthy Restaurant Choices Just Got Easier!

Healthy Dining’s new mobile site offers 4,000+ ways to eat right during hectic holiday season

Just in time for the holiday shopping and traveling season, San Diego's Healthy Dining has launched a new mobile site that makes finding Healthy Dining options easier and more convenient than ever.  

Featuring more than 4,000 menu items served at more than 60,000 participating restaurants across the nation, HealthyDiningFinder.com arms users with the most comprehensive database of healthy meals handpicked by registered dietitians based on qualifying nutrition criteria that emphasize lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, whole grains and unsaturated fats.  

A Kids LiveWell® feature on the site likewise provides a growing selection of healthful options that younger eaters are sure to enjoy.

“This new mobile site makes it easy to dine out, especially during the holidays, without overindulging or feeling guilty,” says Anita Jones-Mueller, MPH, president of Healthy Dining. “It’s hard to know how the calories, fat and sodium add up in restaurant meals. Our dietitians remove the guesswork, so you can easily find the best choices to order.”

Navigating data on the fly is part of daily American life.  With a rapidly increasing majority of Americans using smartphones and/or tablets and consuming four to five meals a week in restaurants, finding healthy choices on-the-go has become an important driver of modern public health.
