What to Order at Dig for High Cholesterol
Heart-smart Dig (Dig Inn) picks when you're watching your cholesterol — the best bases, proteins, and sides, plus what to skip.
Dig is farm-to-table comfort food in a bowl — vegetable-forward and made from scratch, which makes it a naturally heart-smart lunch. The main levers are choosing grilled/roasted proteins over the richer braises and going easy on buttery or cheesy sides.
What to look for at Dig
Watch the buttery/cheesy sides (mac, cheesy grains), richer braised or crispy proteins, and heavy sauces. Lean on the market vegetables, grilled or roasted lean proteins, and a whole grain.
Heart-smart picks
Grilled chicken or a roasted vegetable-forward base with a whole grain (farro / brown rice).
Two market vegetable sides — charred broccoli, roasted sweet potato, greens.
Roasted salmon when available — heart-friendly fats.
A little olive-oil-based sauce or a squeeze of lemon instead of heavier dressings.
Solid runners-up
A grain + double veg + grilled protein build.
Wild salmon or grilled chicken with charred vegetables.
What to skip
Mac and cheese and other buttery/cheesy sides.
Crispy/fried or heavily braised proteins as the default.
Heavy or creamy sauces poured over the bowl.
Quick tips
Grilled or roasted protein, a whole grain, two vegetable sides, and a light olive-oil sauce or lemon. Dig makes vegetables the star — lean into that.
