เสาร์ :: Surviving the Salad Bar
Take the safe path and apply these strategies to avoid salad bar traps:
- Use a smaller plate; limit the number of trips you make.
- Start with the nutrient-rich dark green, leafy vegetables, such as spinach, romaine, and endive.
- Fill up your plate with vegetables like lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli and tomatoes.
- Power on the protein with legumes, beans, lean meat, turkey, and crabmeat.
- Take only a small taste of the high-fat food items such as pasta salad, potato salad, macaroni salad, and coleslaw.
- Go easy on extras like croutons, chow mein noodles, crackers, nuts, seeds, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheeses.
- Dress your salad for success with 2 tablespoons of a low-calorie or light salad dressing, OR only 1 tablespoon of regular salad dressing. For a new taste twist try a splash of flavored vinegar.
- If the salad bar contains soups, go for a broth-based version over a cream-style selection.
- Allow only a small taste of the whipped topping-jello-fruit combinations.
- For dessert, return to the salad bar for a small plate of fruit topped with a little yogurt or cottage cheese.
