Have you ever wondered about the nutritional content of popular restaurant meals? Sure, sometimes you just want to dine out and not worry about it... but ordering high-impact food isn't a great habit to perpetuate. You might think you're just ordering a couple of tacos, or a chicken platter...but watch out! No wonder Americans have trouble keeping that waistline trim!
Here's a breakdown of some popular chain-restaurant fare....and why you might want to avoid it.
Thanks to chain establishments like Rubio's, Baja Fresh, and even McDonald's...who provide nutrition facts for many of their menu items.
Adding intense flavor to your food is easy with fresh vegetables, herbs and spices - using a little sea salt can do wonders for dinner dishes and even chocolate-chip cookies. In my opinion, Thai food is the most amazing smorgasbord of flavor, with a huge variety of dishes based on fresh ingredients, which blend sweet, salty, spicy and bitter in combinations that fascinate the palette. Afraid Thai food is too spicy? Most Thai restaurants in the U.S. offer your choice of spiciness level: Make sure to order your food prepared "mild."
