Table of contents for Eating Right On The Go
Another one of my favorite health choices when eating on the go is the Wendy’s Ultimate Chicken Grill sandwich. The thing I like the most about this sandwich is the size of the chicken fillet. It is a nice size and this is good for protein if you are working out. Here are the numbers for a typical healthy meal eating the Ultimate Chicken Grill sandwich:
The Ultimate Grill Chicken Sandwich with Fries: Calories: 660; Total Fat: 23; Saturated Fat: 4; Trans Fat: 0; Chol: 70; Sodium: 1240; Carbs: 81; Fiber: 6; Sugar: 8; Protein: 32.
The Ultimate Grill Chicken Sandwich with a Mandarin Orange cup: Calories: 400 Total Fat: 7 Saturated Fat: 1.5 Trans Fat: 0 Chol: 70 Sodium: 965 Carbs: 55 Fiber: 3 Sugar: 25 Protein: 29.
A couple of things to point out here. As always the fries impact the health quotient of the meal. To be truthful, I have been so affected by this realization I have decided to just forego fries altogether when I begin my winter workout session. Also, with most food choices that you eat outside of your home with the exception of some health conscious establishments most of them are going to be in high in sodium for two reasons. Salt is a preservative and a lot of places place a high salt content in their food because the food tends to last longer. Salt also is a seasoning. If you have cardiovascular issues you need to think about this before you eat too much of these types of food choices.
In my previous post about Chick-Fil-A I said that I eat the fries. In this case I eat the mandarin cup. Why? Because I like mandarin oranges. What am I trying to say? Eat things you like. I have found that eating things you do not like to stay healthy just does not stick long term and that is the goal. The goal is long term good health because this is what has the most impact. Well, that is it. I hope this is helpful.
