Tonight: TACO BELL

I am no different from the rest of you.  I crave the "stuff" we really should try not to eat so through this my hope is to help educate you on what I have learned so you can make an informed decision!  The greatest thing...www.tacobell.com/nutrition/calculator !!  Knowing that I was headed that way soon I decided to jump online (aren't we there most of the time anyway) and check out what I normally eat.  My usual is a chicken quesadilla and a side of sour cream to get a little flavor.  I know two things: I AM CRAVING TACO BELL and I want to watch my calories.  My goal.  Your goal may be a bit different.  Sodium, fat, cholesterol, and calories.  All important.  Anyway, knowing I wanted to get the most bang for my count and feeling the need to feel like I just ate everything on the menu it boiled down to:
Fresco Burrito Supreme Chicken
Pintos and Cheese
Total=520
versus my usual chicken quesadilla (520 not counting sour cream)
Moral to the story - check out the sight before you go sometime!  I feel full (beans do that to you) and do not feel like I am full of completely unhealthy fast food!
