FOOD ON THE GO!!! (Taco Bell)

[IronpumpedLady]

Which Taco Bell menu item shouldn't be part of your next meal?

As if Americans need more incentive to overeat, Taco Bell is promoting itself as the destination for the Fourth Meal of the day--for night owls who want to eat between dinner and breakfast. If you're up late and hungry for a bite, these two menu options might sound appealing. The Crunchwrap Supreme combines beef, nacho cheese, lettuce and cheese in a handy little shell. Another tasty combo is Taco Bell's Zesty Chicken Border Bowl. With this option you omit the empty calories of a tortilla and get extra greens in a salad-like combo of lettuce, beans, rice, salsa, tortilla stripes, cheese and Zesty dressing. The Crunchwrap may be portable and "good to go," but the Border Bowl sounds like a diet-friendly choice. Which of these two should you choose for that fourth meal of the day if you're watching your fat and calories?

Which did you choose? Well if it was The Crunchwrap Supreme, you go it right!!


Surprised by this one? While it doesn't make a very healthy choice, the Crunchwrap Supreme weighs in with 16 fewer fat grams and 180 fewer calories than its seemingly healthy competitor. For 560 calories, 24 grams of fat (37% of your daily value) and 9 grams of saturated fat (43% of your daily value), you could enjoy this crunchy, satisfying meal. Just don't make it a habit. Taco Bell's Zesty Chicken Border Bowl is masquerading as healthy fare, but it's anything but. With 60% of your daily value of fat (40 grams!) and 730 calories (more than half of many dieters' daily intakes), this bowl may just cause your belly and your arteries to rebel! The good news? Almost every Taco Bell menu item can be order "Fresco Style" to replace the heavy sauces and cheeses with zesty tomatoes, onion and cilantro. Order the Fresco Style Crunchwrap or Border Bowl for only 470 calories and 14-16 grams of fat. Now those are some healthy choices!
