Always leaders in dietary excellence, Burger King has come out with a new kids’ menu. The menu consists of three different meals, each of which is supposed to be lower in fact, sodium, and have fewer than 560 calories. Here is a list of the meals, taken from the Burger King website:
* Hamburger with BKTM Fresh Apple Fries, low-fat caramel dipping sauce and calcium-fortified MINUTE MAID® Apple Juice;
* New BK BURGER SHOTS® with BKTM Fresh Apple Fries, low-fat caramel dipping sauce and calcium-fortified MINUTE MAID® Apple Juice; and
* 4-pce CHICKEN TENDERS® (reformulated to be reduced-sodium) with BKTM Fresh Apple Fries, low-fat caramel dipping sauce and HERSHEY’S® Fat Free White Milk.
Each of the meals is supposed to get no more than 30 per cent of its calories from fat, and 10 per cent from added sugars. There also must be less than 600 milligrams of sodium.
Sounds like a great initiative. However, since when are FRIED APPLES a healthy alternative? Read more…
Today, I came across a recipe that gives the traditional “good for your heart” cereal a new spin.
I have to admit that they look tempting and I may just have to make some of my own. With 1663 calories per bowl, 78% that come from fat, I would treat this as a dessert and not as a breakast. I don’t think that anything using this much butter can be considered a breakfast of champions, but it could be a great snack!
A recipe for fried cheerios is simple enough that everyone should be able to make and enjoy them…unless, of course, you have a a history of bad cholesterol.
