8 Foods To Stay Away From On A First Date (3 of 3)

Pizza

Going out for pizza is a very common suggestion for a first date. It certainly has more of a relaxed, casual feel compared to going to a fancy, candle-light dinner. But we have some bad news: pizza and beer are not ideal by themselves or together when you’re meeting the guy for the first time. The pizza crust is full of gluten, the cheese and meats are oily, and the garlic and onions are unavoidable. After a few dates where you’ve gotten to know each other better, by all means enjoy some pizza. But for the initial date, you should be able to find a salad, soup, or sandwich that is both filling and free of these “forbidden” items.

Eggs

Eggs are a great breakfast item. In fact, studies find that eating one or two eggs several times a week can help keep raise “healthy” cholesterol levels while keeping bad cholesterol at bay. But as it relates to your first date, you should ditch eggs or face the prospect of your date ditching you! If you want your fill of protein, choose a grilled chicken breast or fish instead. Or if you’re a vegan, easily digestible starches such as sweet potato or brown rice are the way to go.

CONCLUSIONS

When going on your first date, it pays to be smart as you choose what to eat. Love your greens? Try asparagus! Looking for some healthy items for your salad? Cucumber and celery! Fish, chicken, and pork with a bit of seasoning will keep you full without you having to worry about bloating. We want you to feel great during your first date!
