Yesterday while browsing the book store with my 6 month old, I wandered over to the health and fitness section. I picked up the book Eat This Not That. I had heard a lot about it and was curious to see just what kind of information was in it. Well boy did it blow my mind what I saw. We all know that eating out is not the best for us because there can be a lot of hidden calories in the food....but just how many was astounding to me.
Take the bloomin onion from Outback Steakhouse....2210 calories...SERIOUSLY???? Poison on a plate!
I also like the helpful tips in it, like.....
An egg McMuffin is a healthier choice than a bagel (you save 210 calories)
White chocolate can cause depression but dark chocolate can cure it
A Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut has 130 fewer calories than one from Dunkin Donuts
Overall I enjoyed flipping through the pages and found some helpful tips, this book is great for anyone looking to keep those extra calories at bay when they go out to eat.

Those are some surprising numbers! Not that I'm going to shift my diet to a steady stream of Egg McMuffins, but it does give pause.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, a bit shocking when you stop and look at it.
