A "healthy" fast food meal
My wife introduced me to Taco Bell today. Their "pintos + cheese" is
99 cents, 180 calories, 10 grams of fiber, 4 g of saturated fat. Not bad at all. I mixed 1.25 ounces of walnuts with mine (to make 400 calories) - pretty tasty - really! Anyone else have a healthy fast food meal? |

My daughter and I sometimes stop at Wendy's when were out shopping and I always get the Grilled Chicken with mandarin oranges. I don't use the almonds and 1/4 of the salad dressing. I think the whole packet of salad dressing has 250 calories and I'm not willing to spend that many calories on it. |

Tupperware makes these cool little containers that are perfect to carry around a serving of your own salad dressing if you carry a purse or other bag.

We're lucky we have produce that isn't completely rotted out sometimes. Sucks to live in the middle of nowhere. We are putting in a major garden next year provided we can get the 8' fence up.

Jennifer Where do you live, anyway, Jennifer? I'm sure you've said, but I've forgotten. It sounds like an interesting area -- and cold :-).

Also, get grilled chicken sandwiches, but have they leave off the spreads and condiments. Martha |

Chris I still prefer whole fat dressings as lowfat ones are filled with sugar and too sweet for my tastes. I just dip the veggies into a little bit and I don't use much dressing at all. Martha |

Chris in northern Virginia (sort of distant, but no longer rural, DC suburbs) Far northern Wisconsin, (ie the middle of nowhere) about 350 miles north of Chicago. We're farther north than Toronto, just south of Lake Superior - just over an hour's drive to the lake. I like being far away from the city, but there are still some disadvantages! Jennifer |
