When Eating Out… 64
Filed Under (Health & Nutrition) by Charla

I heard something recently on the radio (KLTY) that makes a lot of sense for eating healthy foods & not gaining weight. When eating out, try to stay away from the 4 “C’s” which are:

  1. Crispy
  2. Crunchy (fried food crunchy)
  3. Creamy
  4. Cheesy

With these types of foods, a red flag goes up for added saturated fat (depending on the type of fat used) plus calories!

When I eat out, I always get that yummmy fried chicken with extra gravy. :( And it violates all C’s -ahuhuhu.

It’s hard eating out. I used to always get fried chicken tenders with gravy. Yummy!! Now, I get a fried chicken breast and take off the skin and crunchy batter. If we eat at Jack in the Box, I order the grilled chicken tenders. I’m used to it now and don’t miss the crunchy chicken tenders too much. But I still get fried catfish every once in a while. :)
