Derval O'Rourke's fit foodie: Walnut and sundried tomato pesto & Green olive tapenade

This week I’m chatting about eating out and giving you tips to make the tastiest and healthiest choices when you are out. My recipes are simple dips that are perfect for healthy snacking, writes Derval O'Rourke.

Eating out has always been a big part of my life and it still is. As a professional athlete, I spent lots of time travelling and ended up eating out in restaurants all over the world at track meets.

During that time I learned how to eat out, mind my health and still have a great time. Now, when ordering out, I try keep in mind what a balanced plate of food looks like. I keep it simple and aim for a source of protein, healthy fats and whole grains plus lots of veggies.
