Not that 310 calories for a sandwich is great, but it beats some of the 800 plus ones. Subway's Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Sandwich weighs in at 310 calories, but there is ALWAYS a trade off with fast food guys. That sandwich has a whoppin' 830 mg of sodium - more than half of what you should eat in a day- and still finds a way to deliver 5 grams of fat. The other thing to remember is that virtually all of the chicken served in fast food and processed food had MSG in it.
McDonald's Premium Southwest Salad with Crispy Chicken only sounds healthy. That bad boy has 450 calories with 21 grams of fat and 820 mgs of sodium BEFORE you add the dressing! Wow!
Not to be outdone Burger King's Tendergrill Chicken Sandwich has 470 calories, 18 grams of fat, and a humongous 1100 mg of sodium. That qualifies as a "SALT BOMB."
Wendy's is trying to help with their "Nutritious Side Options" which includes their Caesar Side Salad which has only 250 calories, but packs a punch with 17 grams of fat and 510 mgs of sodium. They also have their small chili which has 460 calories, 23 grams of fat and a MIND BOGGLING 1400 mgs of sodium. I had to recheck that 3 times! That was from their website and from their Nutritious side options. Wow!
For dinner tonight we will have the Big Salad with fresh Organic greens, a bell pepper from the garden, green beans, tomatoes, avocado, purple scallions, sunflower seeds with my homemade Lemon Balsamic Vinaigrette. Sounds terrible huh?
More soon......
