Welcome to Where a Dietitian Eats Out, a series that showcases practical examples of how nutrition experts navigate food choices and real-world dining scenarios around the globe. Learn tips on making healthier choices at restaurants and maintaining a balanced diet while dining out. Because enjoying food is important to developing a healthy and sustainable way of eating.

Ella Davar is a registered dietitian and gut-health nutritionist from Miami, Florida. As a gut health specialist, Davar’s a big believer in bio-individuality, and emphasizes the importance of finding food that works for you.

Some of the things that work for Davar? “I’d always choose a place that uses olive oil and offers simply grilled, Mediterranean-style sauteéd vegetables.”

Feeling your best is Davar’s top priority when she decides what food to eat. And that doesn’t mean just looking at protein, fiber, and all those other key nutrients. Davar’s never one to shy away from taste and enjoying the food that appeases your appetite!

“I know exactly what I want and how I want it to be prepared – including a sugar-free dessert like a bowl of berries, broth-based soup or vegetable appetizer to start.”
