French Food Dishes and Portion Control
When you think of French food dishes you don’t automatically think healthy. Even though many dishes are made with butter or cream sauce, and lots of cheese, there are still healthy French food options. With the former French cuisine, it’s all about portion control. The French know how to enjoy their food and savor every bite which results in eating less and being more in tune with their hunger cues. If you have difficulty with this, put your fork down between bites and split heavy entrees with friends. French cooking has influenced American cuisine in many ways but unfortunately portion control has not translated. France experiences much lower obesity and heart disease rates than America.
Make the Most of our French Food Information
When deciding what French dishes to eat whether you are cooking at home or going to a brasserie, take a look at our French food information ahead of time to make smarter choices. It may seem obvious to your that Bearnaise sauce is creamy and contains saturated fat but you might not realize that something as innocuous sounding as escargot can pack in the calories due to the amount of butter sauce it is prepared in. There are also typically plenty of options on a brasserie-style menu so you can choose to consume your French food calories from fresh fish, vegetables, and eggs which are good for us in moderation.
