Holiday…10 Pounds
“You Don’t Have To Gain 10 Pounds Over the Holidays”, says
Kamal Muhsin, Owner of The Forum Private Fitness of Westchester.
The holidays are just about here, and between errands and travels, you may have to hit up a fast-food or coffee house in search of breakfast. The bad news: There’s plenty junk food temptation out there!
Here’s what to avoid AND here’s what to order:
What to Skip What to Order
Starbucks donuts, fritters, croissants and the like Strawberry or Blueberry Yogurt
Parfait Zucchini Walnut Perfect Oatmeal
Menu items range from 490 calories, 28 grams of fat, and 490 milligrams of sodium to the better choices of items ranging from 140 calories, 2.5 grams of fat and 4 grams of fiber. You win in taste and health !
McDonald’s Big Breakfast with pancakes Fruit & Maple Oatmeal
The Egg McMuffin is not the worst breakfast offender. The Big Breakfast weighs in at a heart-stopping 1,090 calories, 56 grams of fat and 2,150 milligrams of sodium. You will be on the healthy track with the Fruit & Maple Oatmeal, without brown sugar, with light cream. If you just have to have that Egg McMuffin, order it without the American cheese.
Jamba Juice Peanut Butter Moo’d Smoothie Oatmeal with soy milk
Everyone loves a smoothie, but a PBM will offer up a whopping 770 calories. Try Jamba Juice’s hearty steel-cut oats, plain or with banana slices. Compare the 240 calories, 6 grams of fiber and 9 grams of protein. You are winning!
