There's nothing as disappointing as having to endure a dinner date while watching your weight. Even something as healthy-sounding as a salad can pack in far too many calories, no thanks to sneaky creamy dressings when ordering out.
But this Dubai eatery promises to help you stay in control of your diet when dining out; everything in the restaurant contains no more than 500 calories.
Aptly named Under 500, there are outlets in the JLT and Business Bay neighborhoods, and they even serve up delicious desserts.
Think Chicken Lettuce Tacos, Grilled Salmon and Avocado, Lean Steak and Kale all made fresh daily, plus raw, gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, high protein and low carb offerings.
"We pride ourselves on only serving our customers the finest quality foods, with the freshest ingredients," co-founder, Fadi Ghali, said. "We wanted to offer our customers healthy, guilt-free dishes bursting with loads of flavor, at an affordable price and that's what Under 500 is all about."
Cheers to that! Check out their mouth-watering menu items in the gallery.
