OK... this nutrition thing is really annoying. I mean 1 item at Moe's has 1/2 the daily allowance for sodium!!!!!! I really shouldn't be eating out but I haven't been to the grocery yet. I am trying to be easy on myself because at least I AM looking at what I am eating. Before I would go to eat and not care. But I compared Moe's with Taco Bell and Moe's is fresher, no trans fat and less saturated fat than Taco Bell. I got the junior size instead of the regular size. So - I feel I am eating healthier than I WAS... but not as healthy as I COULD- if that makes any sense.
I had a peanut butter sandwich this morning which consisted of 2 slices of Natures Own Double the Fiber Whole Grain bread and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. Bread had 100 calories, 1 gram of fat (0 saturated; 0 trans- all fat grams from good fats), 270 mg soduim, 26 carbs of net 10 grams of dietary fiber (4 soluble; 6 insoluble), less than 1 g of sugar and 6 g of protein. Peanut Butter had- 95 calories, 8 grams of fat (1.5 grams saturated and 0 trans), 75 g of sodium, 3.5 g of carbs net of 1 g of fiber and 1.5 g sugar, and 3.5 g of protein.
I am having a Joey Junior Burrito consisting of Grilled Chicken, Pinto Beans, Rice, Cheese, Lettuce and Pico de Gallo. It has 403 Calories, 14 grams of fat (no trans fats and only 5.3g of Saturated fat- the rest are the good fats your body needs- this is compared with 8 grams of saturated fat and .5 grams of trans fat at Taco Bell), 1200 mg of SODIUM!!!!!, 48 carbs - (6 of net fiber and only 3 g of sugar from carb), 22 g of Protein and various vitamins and minerals that they listed on their nutritional fact sheet.
