Healthy Fast Food and Family Dining
Men’s Health Magazine is one great resource when checking out what is best and what is worst when you eat out either on the run or when you choose a more leisurely repast.
For a FF burger they say go to Wendy’s and especially they note that the Jr. Burgers can weigh in at under 400 of them there so important calories. Want a sandwich? Cheesecake Factory will get you one at 1,400 calories and their pasta items average 1,835 C. So Mens’ Health considers Cheesecake Factory the worst in family dining due in great part because of it’s large portion meals. The King? Not quite Burger King. But Subway reigns as monarch of the healthy choice sandwiches. The sub chain gets the thumbs up for offering the leanest sandwiches in America. Ten six-inch subs under 400 calories.
Now the mens’ mag castigated the Home of the Blizzard when they said Dairy Queen ranked as The Worst Burger Joint. The judgment was that “the fast-food chain specializes in both burgers and ice cream injected with egregious amounts of sodium and trans fats.”
The verdict on California Pizza Kitchen’s 10-inch pizza entrees is that they are “awkward” because they make it almost impossible to eat a healthy portion.” Men’s Health said “A 10-inch isn’t enough for two people but eating it for yourself means consuming a 1,000 calorie-meal.” Best pizza- Domino’s Philly Cheese Steak Pizza” was way up there. Ranked as a solid lean pie. You get to choose more vegetable toppings at Domino’s than at the competition pizza place.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Quiznos. Quiznos. Quiznos. Mens’ Health regarded the big Q as the worst sandwich shop, and candidly said: “This menu is bloated with mayonnaise-spiked salads, oily dressings and briny bacon.”
And now it’s time to say “Hello Ruby Tuesday” not “Goodbye Ruby Tuesday” I feel ready right now to head out to Ruby Tuesday. I may never see “The Lips” licking up the gravy but the accolade for Best Healthy Family Dining Restaurant was awarded to Ruby Tuesday. I’ll be checking out the selection of healthy options on the Fit & Trim menu.
Eat well and wisely. Bon appetit.
