Eat This, Not That!

Eat This, Not That!

This website breaks down the 'best' and the 'worst' foods, restaurants, meals, beverages, etc. - including food you buy at the store, food you can get at a fast food restaurant, and food you can order at a real restaurant. What I like most however is the "Eat This, Not that!" section which will tell you what are the healthier alternatives at various places - For instance, at Sonic, the Sonic Burger is healthier than the Chicken Club Toaster Sandwich. It's a ton of information on how to make better choices for fast food meals, and also how to make better choices when you go food shopping. I find it very interesting, and actually pretty disturbing.

Just an example of their write-ups:

1. The Worst Food in America
Outback Steakhouse Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing

This weapon of mass construction is the caloric equivalent of eating 14 Krispy Kreme doughnuts, before your dinner arrives. Even if you split this "starter" with 3 friends, you'll have downed a meal's worth of calories.

Super Substitution: Both the Seared Ahi and the Shrimp on the Barbie offer a big dose of protein, which helps diminish hunger without putting you into calorie overload.
