Identifying some dietary options.


In today's blog I am going to investigate three of today’s leaders in commercial culinary excellence. Let’s visit them one at a time...

First stop, the Big ‘M’.
“Good evening, Sir. What will your order be today?”
“Hi, I’ll go for a double beef burger with extra cheese ...but no fries “
“Anything to drink, Sir?”
“I’ll have water instead of Coke.”
“That’ll be a dollar extra, sir”
“OK, but I won’t have the bread buns...”
“Sorry Sir, we don’t do that.”

Looks like we will be paying for stuff we can’t eat! :-(


Next stop, Wendy’s.
“Good evening, Sir. What will your order be today?”
“I’ll have a small chilli and a side salad.”
“Do you want a baked potato and sour cream with your order, Sir?”
“Um...No thanks.”
“Anything to drink, Sir?”
“Do you do water?”
“That’ll be a dollar extra, sir”
“OK, I’ll leave it.”

Delicious! :-)


Finally,  let’s visit Nando’s.
“Good evening, Sir. What will your order be today?”
“I’ll have a Half chicken with a side of Garden salad
...No, make it a Quarter chicken and a Mediterranean salad.”
“Certainly, Sir?”
“Do you want fries with your order, Sir?”
“No thanks.”

Also, delicious! :-)

OK,  we have learned quite a bit in our quick visits. Say, "No" to the carbs (especially the fries and bread buns :-() Say, "Yes" to the good quality salads and enjoy your choice of high protein meats. We have also learned that you can eat out in most of  these chain restaurants and still enjoy delicious and healthy options.

Next blog: What shall we eat for breakfast?
