Ok – starting a new feature this week that you will see regularly. I am calling it EAT THIS NOT THAT. I will show ONE THING that you can SKIP EATING and all the healthy things you could have eaten instead. My intention is for this to be a wake up call and also to point out HOW MANY calories are actually in some things. I know lots of my personal training clients here in Douglasville are always looking for better ways to eat so I hope this helps anyone who is looking to lose weight or get healthy!!

So for today — let’s start with breakfast

INSTEAD OF EATING THAT: Dunkin Donuts Sausage Egg and Cheese Croissant (690 calories)

You could have had THIS: Egg beaters (3/4 cup equiv of 3 eggs), turkey sausages (3 links), 2 slices rye toast with 2 tsp butter, an apple, an orange, a non-fat yogurt

See the point — LOOK AT ALL THAT FOOD — That is a full breakfast and a couple of snacks!!!! OH and you still save yourself the 7 grams of trans fat and have a nowhere near the 51 grams of total fat that croissant has.
