Two weeks ago I promised more restaurant Do's and Don'ts to help you eat out successfully. Check out my tips below:
Stuck at the fair without your healthy snack?
DON'T choose a Sno Cone for 540 calories. (Every squirt of the syrup contains up to 100 calories!)
DO choose cotton candy for 175 calories and no fat.
Want to know what to order at Ruby Tuesdays?
DO try the Skinny Chicken Salad (with light ranch dressing) for 338 calories and 15 grams of fat. DON'T have any of their burgers unless your waist line can afford at least 1000 calories and plenty of artery clogging fat.
Feel like a muffin just for a change?
DO have Tim Horton's Blueberry Bran Muffin for 340 calories, 5 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber and just 1.5 grams of saturated fat.
DON'T have a Panera Bread Blueberry muffin for 530 calories and 4 grams of saturated fat.
DO also try Tim's Twelve Grain Bagel for 330 calories, 10 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber. Top it off with a little Light Plain Cream cheese for just 85 more calories and you got breakfast!
At the movies without your own snack?
DON'T have the nachos for 554 calories and 44 grams of fat.
DON'T have a medium buttered popcorn for 1,100 calories and 80 grams of fat.
DO have a kiddie size plain popcorn for 300 calories.
Hope these tips help you navigate the tricky world of eating healthy while dining out. Be sure and let Dr. Chris and I know how you dine out successfully!
