Editor's Notes
- #6 TIP: Wraps can pack a ton of calories in a sneaky way! The Caesar dressing is also loaded with fat.
- #7 TIP: I make sure to get brown rice in my burrito bowl because it’s packed with fiber and keeps you full longer. Avoid piling on the sour cream and cheese to lower your fat intake.
- #8 TIP: make sure and ask for an apple as a side instead of bread
- #19 2/3 of US adults are now overweight and the obesity rate has increased 50% since 1960. Is this bc we all just turned into junk food junkies? No, its bc restaurants and food marketers are loading our meals with empty calories and there is nothing we can do about it…. But be INFORMED! The food industry spends 30 billion a year on advertising - 70% of that is fore convenience foods, candy, soda and dessert! Even the experts are confused. In a Cornell Univ study, 85 grad students and nutrition science professors served themselves ice cream. They underestimated their own serving size and caloric intake by 40 %!
- #20 Personalize your order – ask to leave off certain items such as cheese, bacon or spreads. Ask for things on the side. Be aware of the “sides” such as fries, etc. Think Thin or Naked– ordering thin crust can save you almost 1,000 calories. Ordering a burrito “naked” saves you approx 800 calories
