Eat This

I spent a large amount of time over the last two years on a diet. I always get mad when I buy something low cal. and its inedible, and ends up in the trash. I know a lot of women are trying to lose weight, and many of you have asked me how I did it (click here to see my fat pic.). I thought I would do my own version of “Eat This” and share with you what I have found to be low cal. and delicious. I know I wish someone would have told me. I also am trying to lose more weight, so I am revisiting all these foods again. A woman who is trying to maintain their weight should have a caloric intake no greater then 2,000, when dieting it should be around 1,200-1500 calories.

I am going to do Fast Food first.

Wendy’s

Ultimate Chicken Grill Sandwich

Calories: 320 Fat:7g Choose either mandarin oranges (80 cal) or side salad (130), and a diet soda

Or try a Jr. Cheeseburger, Calories: 260, Fat: 11g

McDonald’s

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Wrap & Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

Wrap- Calories: 260, Fat: 9g, Parfait- Calories: 160, Fat: 2g

They also now have a snack wrap Happy Meal. Get the grilled Honey Mustard wrap and apple dippers w/ caramel sauce. Calories: 360, Fat: 9g

A medium sized Double Cheeseburger Value meal w/ a coke is 1,030 calories, and 19 g of fat. That’s almost a whole days worth of calories in one meal! Is it any wonder our country has the highest obesity rate?

Taco Bell

2 Fresco Chicken Soft Tacos

Calories: 269, Fat 8g, Make sure to order it Fresco style.

Chik-Fil-A

Chargrilled Chicken Sandwich (this is by far my fav. fast food choice)

Calories: 260, Fat: 3g, Ask for a packet of the Honey Roasted BBQ Sauce (60 cal). Add a Fruit Cup for 100 cal, and 0 fat

Pizza Hut

2 slices of Veggie Lover’s , medium & thin and crispy

Calories: 196, Fat: 6g, add a breadstick for 47 cal, and 6 g of fat

Chipotle

Chicken Burrito Bowl w/ lettuce, black beans, green tomatillo salsa, and sour cream.

Calories: 489, Fat: 22g

This is on the high end of calories and fat, skip the sour cream to save some calories and fat grams. The proportions are also huge, it could make 2 small meals.
