Eat This Not That

I thought that I knew which restaurant foods were the healthiest –boy I was wrong.
For example:
Eat this
Ruby Tuesday’s 9 oz Sirloin with French Fries
615 calories
19 g fat

Not That!
Ruby Tuesday’s Bella Turkey Burger with Baked Potato
1524 calories
84 g fat

I would have chosen the turkey burger and baked potato.

This is really interesting stuff.

Lose Weight Eating Restaurant Foods Posted Mon, May 12, 2008, 4:06 pm PDT
I should know. During a single day recently I visited three big chain restaurants, ordered normally, and demonstrated how you can easily consume a whopping 6,000 calories — three times the recommended total. No, I didn’t eat a mountain of onion rings or a whole extra-large pizza. In fact, I didn’t even have snacks or dessert — just three square meals, including a bran muffin, a burrito, and a salad. It’s the way millions of Americans eat all the time, thinking they’re doing pretty well.
The good news is you can eat on the run — helping yourself to a lot of delicious food — and still lose weight. You just need a strong sense of determination and a wary eye for the the food traps. Start now by making smart choices like those shown here, and you’ll be much skinnier by summer!
