GrubHub Data Finds Los Angeles is 46% More Likely to Order from Restaurants Offering Healthier Options

GrubHub Shares Tips with L.A. Locals Interested in Healthier Takeout

CHICAGO, March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — With the L.A. Marathon right around the corner, the takeout experts at GrubHub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering company, compiled some tips and trends for L.A. locals interested in learning about race-friendly takeout choices. An analysis of a year’s worth of order data shows that diners in L.A. are 46% more likely than the rest of the country to order from restaurants offering healthier options.

GrubHub analysts dug further into order data to determine how Los Angeles stacks up against the rest of the nation when it comes to ordering the best fuel for workouts. The analysis shows that L.A. diners lead the nation in the following fitness-friendly food orders:

Cottage cheese: 400% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation
Bananas: 52% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation
Yogurt: 48% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation
Salads: 36% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation
Oatmeal: 15% more popular in L.A. than throughout the rest of the nation

In addition to uncovering some of L.A.’s healthier ordering trends, GrubHub’s takeout experts worked with a Registered Dietitian to come up with the following tips for those interested in fitness-friendly takeout options.

The Runner’s Guide to Ordering Takeout: While fueling with the right foods and fluids is crucial to performing your best; when you eat is equally critical. Eat a small snack 2-3 hours before your run,[i] but avoid eating immediately before a big race or workout to prevent cramping. Opt for foods that are high in carbs, but moderate in protein and low in fiber and fat (which may cause gastrointestinal distress).[ii] Choose familiar foods that will be well tolerated.

ORDER: High-carb foods with a protein component
SEARCH FOR: Whole grains, peanut butter, oatmeal, fresh fruits, non-fat yogurt, starchy veggies like sweet potatoes, white and brown rice, non-sauced pasta, light or low-fat cheese, cold-pressed juice
AVOID: High-fiber or rich and fatty foods, gas-forming foods, caffeine and alcohol
- Broccoli, cauliflower, beans, milk, deep-fried items or items described as “crispy”
GRUBHUB TIP: When ordering online, make sure to utilize the special instructions box to customize your meal to meet your needs. Some simple ways to reduce oil and butter intake include asking for sauces on the side or requesting food to be grilled rather than fried.

Following a race or any strenuous workout, it’s important to start replenishing as soon as possible; and with GrubHub as an option, you can relax and order your post-workout meal without moving a muscle². Since carbs replace glycogen stores and protein provides amino acids for building and repairing muscle tissues, try recharging with options like fruit and yogurt smoothies, plain bagels or whole grain toast with peanut butter and fluids and electrolytes like water, sports drinks or chocolate milk.

GrubHub Seamless and HBO Collaborate on Food Personality Profiles and Promotions to Celebrate Season Three of GIRLS

Data Finds Nearly Half of Female Diners Best Match Up with Hannah Horvath’s Food Personality

CHICAGO, Jan. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — To celebrate the season three premiere of the critically-acclaimed series, “GIRLS,” GrubHub Seamless, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering company, teamed up with HBO to offer promotions and match the eating habits of GIRLS’ characters with those of GrubHub diners.

In addition to offering promotions, including a video Instagram contest, Free Grub and discount opportunities, GrubHub Seamless and HBO identified the food profiles of America’s favorite New York City twenty-somethings by considering personality traits and food moments in the show’s first two seasons. When compared to the past year of orders, GrubHub data shows that 48 percent of female diners are best aligned with the food personality of Hannah Horvath, followed by Shoshanna, Marnie and Jessa:

48% of female diners have a food profile similar to Hannah: Hannah is hungry in every sense of the word. Outspoken, creative and opinionated, she tends to crave sweet and salty foods – often together – and enjoys takeout after a night with her friends (Or during. Or before).

Go-to foods: Cupcakes, brownies, pizza, pasta, pad thai, fried chicken, tamales, pierogis, a single apple per month
Most likely to: Ask for extra condiments, salt already salty foods, alternate among several credit cards when paying for her order, order extra food for leftovers…even if they don’t make it to the next meal

25% of female diners have a food profile similar to Shoshanna: Equal parts girly, quirky and childlike, Shoshanna goes for food that is bite-sized and trendy. She lets herself indulge once in a while, but flogs herself emotionally for days afterwards. She tends to order off the diet menu when ordering takeout.

Go-to foods: Sushi, cake pops, sliders, smoothies, tapas, cauliflower pizza, vegan muffins, aspartame, iced coffee
Most likely to: Get distracted mid-bite, share food photos across her social media platforms, give her favorite delivery driver a nickname

20% of female diners have a food profile similar to Marnie: Marnie sets high standards for herself and others. Her diet is heavily moderated and she opts for fresh foods and crunchy vegetables, or anything she reads about in fitness magazines.

Go-to foods: Salads, pressed juices, steamed vegetables, “low-carb” foods
Most likely to: Blot her egg white omelet with a napkin, ask for her salad dressing on the side, consider red meat a luxury

7% of female diners have a food profile similar to Jessa: Unconventional, confident and international, Jessa craves exotic foods with lots of spice, color and heat. The more unknown the food is, the more psyched she is to eat it. She wouldn’t be caught dead with a chicken finger, but has no problem eating an entire baguette (it’s French, you know?).

Go-to foods: Ethiopian food, Pakistani food, bibimbap, gamey meats, massaman curry, cuttlefish soup
Most likely to: Eat fork foods with hands, eat finger foods with fork, never order from the same restaurant twice

To better understand the eating habits of female diners, GrubHub Seamless analysts also tracked gender differences in takeout preferences. In addition to being 26 percent more likely to include special instructions in each order, the analysis found that female diners are much more likely than men to order the following foods:

Seaweed Salad –77 percent more popular with women
Veggie Burger – 67 percent more popular with women
Miso Soup – 66 percent more popular with women
Shrimp Tempura Roll – 63 percent more popular with women
House Salad – 63 percent more popular with women
Cucumber Salad – 60 percent more popular with women
Greek Salad – 60 percent more popular with women
Tuna Avocado Roll – 60 percent more popular with women
Garden Salad – 59 percent more popular with women
Philadelphia Roll – 58 percent more popular with women
