Uno Chicago Grill Danger zone: Deep-dish pizzas can pile on the fat. We love: The Penne Bolognese—just 16 grams of fat (well within the daily recommended max of 65 grams of fat for a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet). Danger zone: Plate overload—after all, it’s all-you-can-eat. We love: The Tomato Spinach Whole Wheat pasta, a delicious combo of whole grains and veggies. Danger zone: The “Comfort Classics” page of the menu, with throwbacks like rich (super-high-fat) Chicken Cordon Bleu. We love: Chicken & Fruit (above)—grilled chicken and a garden salad, plus wedges of fresh orange, honeydew, watermelon, and cantalope. Special credit goes to their nutritional information being based on the whole entrée, not a single serving like at most places. Danger zone: Traditional, fat-dense items such as Lo Mein Beef. We love: Carb-free vegetarian lettuce wraps—wok-seared tofu, red onions, and water chestnuts with mint and lime, set in lettuce cups. Danger zone: Breakfast, where bacon and sausage are kings. We love: Healthy options on the kid’s menu, like slow-roasted turkey with mashed potatoes and glazed baby carrots, and fruit and yogurt dippers for dessert. Danger zone: Comfort-food entrees like Gourmet Chicken Potpie, which piles more than half your daily calories on the plate. We love: That they’ve even healthied-up the burgers, offering veggie and turkey versions. Danger zone: Heavy entrees like spaghetti and meatballs with meat sauce. We love: The delicious Italian sorbetto and biscotti—just 330 calories and 4 grams of fat. Danger zone: Sodium counts. To get below 1,000 milligrams, you’ll need to get those Chicken Fajitas with no tortillas, tomalito, rice, sour cream, or guacamole. We love: Fresh fish of the day, grilled and served on a skillet with homemade salsa. Danger zone: The non-olive-branch entrees. Olive Garden provides no nutritional information on anything else on the menu. We love: The low-fat Capellini Pomodoro (644 calories and 14 grams fat). Danger zone: Breakfast specials, especially the Meat Lover’s Scramble, which is as bad for you as it sounds. We love: The online nutritional chart has Weight Watchers Food Exchange Values. tee Eat Out Without Gaining a PoundOrder it your way Think tapas Beware of the four Cs Say bye-bye to bread Undress your salad Wrap it up
Guides can help you make healthier meal choicesMany fast food chains post nutritional information on their websites. Unfortunately, these lists are often confusing and hard to use. Instead you can go to other websites that provide health and nutrition information, but in easier to follow formats. Some even publish comparison downloadable guides or inexpensive pocket guides. Learn how to make a healthier meal selection at your favorite restaurant: Guides for your individual needsThere are many websites geared toward how to make healthy choices at restaurants depending on your specific dietary needs, whether it is for diabetes, cancer, heart disease, or weight management. See below for specific listings. Healthier fast food at burger chainsFiguring out healthier options at your favorite fast food burger chain can be tricky. A typical meal at a burger joint consists of a "sandwich", some fries and a drink, which can quickly come in at over 1700 calories for something like Burger King's Triple Whopper with a large fries and a 16 oz. soda. A better option would be a regular single patty burger, small fries, and water, which is about 500 calories. Alternatively you may enjoy a veggie burger smothered in grilled onion and mushrooms. Or if you want a large beef burger, then skip the fries and soda and have a side salad and water instead. The Big Burger Chains
Healthier fast food at fried chicken chainsAlthough certain chains have been advertising “no trans fats” in their food, the fact is that fried chicken can pack quite a fattening punch. According to the restaurant’s nutrition info, just a single Extra Crispy Chicken breast at KFC has a whopping 440 calories, 27 grams of fat, and 970 mg of sodium. A healthier choice is the drumstick, which has 160 calories, 10 grams of fat, and 370 mg of sodium. Alternatively, if you like the breast meat, take off the skin and it becomes a healthy choice at 140 calories, 2 grams of fat, and 520 mg of sodium. The Big Fried Chicken Chains
Healthy fast food: Mexican chainsFast food chains that specialize in tacos or burritos can be caloric minefields or they can be a good option for finding healthy fast food. Rice, beans, salsa and a few slices of fresh avocado can make a very healthy meal. But adding cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips can turn even a good meal unhealthy. Be sure to also remember portion control since these types of restaurants can have enormous menu items (eat half and take the rest for another meal). The Big Taco Chains
Healthy fast food: Sub sandwich chainsAmericans love all types of sandwiches: hot, cold, wrapped, foot long. Usually eaten with a salad instead of fries. The ads promote the health benefits of sandwich shops. Easier said than done... studies have found that many people tend to eat more calories per meal at a sub shop than at McDonalds. This may be because people feel so virtuous eating “healthy” like the ads promise, that they reward themselves with chips, sodas, or extra condiments. Subs, Sandwich and Deli Choices
Healthy Asian foodAsian cultures tend to eat very healthfully, with an emphasis on veggies, and with meat used as a “condiment” rather than being the focus of the meal. Unfortunately, Americanized versions of these ethnic foods tend to be much higher in fat and calories – so caution is needed. But here’s a great tip for all Asian restaurants – use the chopsticks! You’ll eat more slowly, since you can’t grasp as much food with them at one time as you can with your normal fork and knife. Asian Food Choices
Healthy Italian fast foodThe anti-carbohydrate revolution has given Italian food a bad rap, but Italian is actually one of the easiest types of cuisine to make healthy. Stay away from fried, oily or overly buttery, as well as thick crust menu items, and you can keep your diet goals intact. Italian and Pizza Restaurant Choices
Chains with natural, high quality fast foodSome fast food restaurants are working hard to make their food both healthier and tastier. One example is Chipotle, where their motto is “Food with Integrity”. The objective is to serve food that is better tasting, comes from better sources, is better for the environment, better for the animals, better for the farmers, and in turn this produces food that is better for us to eat. Unfortunately their portion sizes are still huge, so be sure to always pay attention to calories and fat content. The stated goals are:
The Chipotle website chronicles their progress in achieving these goals, which is limited by availably. With more demand for higher quality, healthier food, it is becoming more worthwhile for farmers to meet these standards and availability is increasing. Higher food quality does not mean that all the menu items are healthy.Many of the menu items at Chipotle and similar restaurants are enormous, stuffed with too many calories, and too much fat. Choose wisely and /or split an order with a friend. See The 20 worst Foods in America (Men’s Health)for suggestions on how to “make over the menu” (Today Health, Science News)
