Wiser Choices on the Menu for Dieters
Penny was on a weight loss plan and found herself anchored at Chili's restaurant amid a company business function. She didn't want to ruin her plan due to one meal overdose of too many calories stuffed onto her plate - nor did she want to order a sole olive and draw attention to herself.
She discreetly requested a nutrition guide from her server and took a few seconds to view the choices therein. She wasn't super hungry so she decided on the Sandwich & Pita menu selections.
1000 Calories, Too Excessive for Weight Loss Plan
The Smoked Turkey with Bacon looked very tasty but for over 1000 calories - that just wasn't going to work for her fat reduction plan. And when it comes to sandwiches and pitas, they don't keep well when they go into a to-go box.
She thought the Chicken Ranch also looked yummy, but gee - it held more energy values than the Smoked Turkey. And she almost fainted and fell out of her chair as she viewed the total fat gram content - 70 big ones.
Many Menu Selections at Chili's Contain Excessive Fat
In addition, she immediately crossed the Cheesesteak, the Cajun Chicken and the Grilled Chicken Sandwiches off her list. Although the later was in grilled form - it held over 800 kcals and almost 50 fat grams. Sheesh!
Menu Items With Fit Into a Weight Loss Plan
The selections that would fit into her diet plan included the Chicken Fajita Pita and the Steak Fajita Pita - although she would need to eat only three quarter's of the later pita as it contained a tab too many for her plan. In the end, she went with the chicken version, a glass of water with lemon for her beverage and she passed up the appetizers, soups and dessert. Good for Penny!
