A List of Healthy Alternatives for meals out (canada style)

Joeys Restaurant:
This restaurant if a classic spot to go for young Vancouverites, Here are some dishes to steer clear Of and some to dig into:

1)Evil Jungle Noodle Salad (920 cals, 58g fat, 67g carbs)
Don’t be fooled by the word “salad” this dish id a fat BOMB, at 920 calories, 58g of fat and 67 grams of fiber, this is anything but a healthy choice.

Don’t worry though if you are in the mood for noodles and lettuce, there is an alternative!!!
Still not GREAT but the Chinatown Lettuce wraps are a much better choice. These have crispy noodles, peanuts and veggies tossed in a delish sauce and served with little lettuce leaves that you use to wrap up the mix.
Lettuce Wraps (660 calories, 42g of fat,77g carbs)
And to make this dish even better (I asked the nutritionist at Joeys) ask for it with half the sauce at noodles and twice the veggies and your meal will rack in at only 490 calories.

2)Cashew Chicken Stirfry (1060 cals, 52g of fat and 106g of carbohydrates)
If you thought stirfry was a Healthy choice, then you thought wrong, this dish racks in half a days worth of carbohydrates and ¾ of a days worth of calories. Though you could pack up half for later chances are, you will not be able to stop at half.
Instead, if you are craving chicken try the Chicken Ceasar, not only is it deliscious, it isn’t too bad for a restaurant ceasar.
Chicken Ceasar: (600 cals, 43f of fat and 11g of carbs)
Another good choice is the Half Rotissery chicken
Rotissery chicken: (355 cals,19g of fat,13g of carbs)

MILESTONES RESTAURANT

Portabello Mushroom Chicken 8oz.(cals,1270 fat, 71g of fat)
Chicken is Healthy right? And Mushrooms? Combine the two and Milestones has managed to spit out a fat filled calorie dense meal that will be sure to expand your waistline.
Chicken is Plentiful on the menu, so don’t fret there are many other healthy deals.
Try the...
spicy thai chicken drummets (660 cals, 44g of fat and 12g of carbs)
Or the Slow Roasted Quarter Chicken (430 cals, 20g of fat, 3g of carbs)

Some of the Meals come with the Roasted Cornbread Muffin, Don’t feel too guilty eating it, it only racks in 150 calries, 4grams of fat and 26 grams of carbs.

Starbucks
So you know where to find all the nutritional information on their drinks (if you don’t, right where you find your cream and sugar there should be pamphlets) but finding the nutritional information on the food is a little more difficult.
Here’s a littlee bit of help for next time you visit the coffee chain.

Starbucks Blueberry Scone (500 cals, 29g of fat and 56g of carbs)
All of the scones rack in about this many calories, except the pumpkin scone, which is a decent alternative at 360 calories, 18g of fat and 49g of carbs.
The Starbucks Blueberry Bran Muffin Looks Healthy but trust me, that muffin is cake in disguise, at 500 calories, 19f of fat and 75g of carbs, this muffin is not a healthy choice.
The Low Fat Blueberry muffin is a much better choice ( 280 calories, 1.5g of fat and 62g of carbs)
Just as a safeguard, stay away from all of the bars (oat fudge, oat, blueberry etc…) they all have over 400 calories.

Stay Tuned, the list will continue
