"Having these healthy items on our menu helps us keep our customers," Herrera said. The enchiladas are served with rice and refried beans cooked in canola oil. The selections include low-fat cheese or chicken enchiladas made with broiled chicken and low-fat cheese (no sour cream), rolled in a corn tortilla cooked without oil and topped with a red sauce. For example, Liz Herrera, co-owner of Casa Herrera Mexican restaurant in Abilene, Texas, said her family-owned restaurant offers a number of healthy food choices. A recent survey of table service restaurants confirmed that 40 percent currently feature healthful menu items, according to Lichten. More and more restaurants like these are trying to offer some healthy food options for their customers.
It's a large, thin-crust pizza with lots of fresh veggies and light on the cheese. "It's a really thick sauce that doesn't drip on you," she added.Īnother of her favorite fast food options is the "Slim Suit Summer Special" pizza from Pappa John's. "I've had a lot of chicken sandwiches in my life, and the tender roast chicken sandwich on a Pepperidge Farm roll is really good." She also loves the honey barbecue with its shredded chicken covered in low-fat sauce. Lichten said two of her favorite healthy fast food offerings are the low-fat honey barbecue (310 cal, 6g fat) and tender roast chicken (270 cal, 5 g fat, sans sauce) sandwiches from.KFC. "I asked if they had any low-fat dressing and they dug around behind the counter and produced packets of light ranch dressing. "I was in a restaurant recently on vacation and the salad bar offered no lean dressing choices," Lichten said in a telephone interview from her Houston-area home. Whether it's a dressing for your sandwich or your salad, don't be afraid to request fat-free versions. Other low-fat dressings include salsa and barbecue sauce. Try substituting mustard, or some restaurants now even offer low-fat mayonnaise. In this case, holding the mayo saves 160 calories and a whopping 17 grams of fat. With this sandwich and with others at restaurants, omitting the mayonnaise can save a lot of fat and calories. For example, order a BK Broiler chicken sandwich without the mayonnaise (370 calories, 9 grams fat).
You stop by Burger King for a quick lunch to go and there are several options for ordering the healthiest selections.

It’s a privilege to join the other authors, whom I admire, and help the Abilene Library. Next week I will be in Abilene, Texas, invited by the Friends Of The Library, for a book signing event and a gala dinner that will feature four Texas cookbook authors. Last month we raised funds for the San Antonio Library Latino Resources Center and the glittering evening was meaningful because it will help generations to come. One of the pleasures, honors really, that this book has brought me is to be able to help raise funds for libraries.
