Starches on the Menu
Both potatoes and pasta are quite starchy and while delicious, let's take a deeper look at the nutritional values to see just how much all that deliciousness is going to cost us, health-wise....
Menu Items to Avoid While Dieting
The Potatoes
The spud selections are actually quite steep in caloric values. There is a reduced fat variety of the Plain Jane that is available which contains about one-fourth the calories, but our advice is to migrate towards a sandwich or the salad bar, choosing the selections which are healthier and better-apt to fit into your weight loss plan.
The full-blown Plain Jane Potato is highest in energy content and tops 2000 kcals. That's the same amount of kcals as the standard diet. If you enjoy the Texas Style that is spiked with beef, the values equal about 1600.
At this point you'll want to pause and ask yourself, "Do I want more than one potato today?"
The Pasta
As to the selections, most are climbing towards the 1000 kcal mark, also too high in values to comfortably be a part of a reduced calorie weight loss plan. In addition, the cholesterol content is off the hook; the Vegetarian Pasta Alfredo contains over 135 milligrams.
It's time to return to the salad bar.....
