Healthy Restaurant Picks - Uno's

Thursday, April 30, 2009

On a better note, like I said, a lot of restaurants do have good healthy options. Here's some faves of mine from Uno's, as well as some other healthy options that, if I ate meat, I am sure I would love from Uno's:

Uno's lists all their nutrition info online, and even has a whole "under 500 calories" section on their site. (www.unos.com)

Veggie Soup - 150 calories
Cuban Black Bean & Lentil Soup -180 calories
Grilled Chicken with Mango Salsa - 220 calories (without side dishes)
Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Mango Salsa - 240 calories (withous side dishes)
Gorgonzola Walnut Salad - 280 calories
Grilled & Skewered BBQ Shrimp - 300 calories (without side dishes)
House Salad with Grilled Chicken - 320 calories
Eggplant, Spinach & Feta Flatbread Pizza - so, this entire pizza is 810 calories, but you can easily split this with someone for 405 calories each, it's plenty of food - and it's really yummy! (Also, the cheese & tomato flatbread is the same # of calories)

Some things on their menu that i thought were not bad as far as calories were actually pretty bad, so it's always good to check online before you go to a restaurant!

Diet-Busters!

As much as restaurants are getting better at including healthy options, they also keep adding things that are like 1000+ calories (like the giant omelette breakfast sandwich from Burger King, the Double Thickburger at Hardee's, etc.). The newest diet buster I keep seeing ads for is this, the Domino's Bread Bowl Pasta:



Now, the website doesn't give the nutrition info, but this just CAN'T be good for you, right? I mean, pasta inside a bread bowl? I found these calorie listings online for them on another site:

670 calories - Pasta Primavera
700 calories - Chicken Alfredo
730 calories - Three Cheese Mac-N-Cheese
730 calories - Italian Sausage Marinara
740 calories - Chicken Carbonara
