Eat This, Not That

It's already been mentioned that H2O is about making healthy choices. There are too many diets out there that are so restricting, they are almost impossible to follow or stick to. And even more difficult is trying to stick to a diet when you are dining out or making a quick stop at a fast food restaurant. It's enough to make you want to give up on your diet all together!

There's a book called, "Eat This, Not That" that gives readers tips on thousands of simple food swaps that can save you lots of calories every time you eat, even when you eat out. Here's what I mean:

At Chipotle - you can cut 498 calories out of your chicken burrito just by ordering it as a bowl (without the tortilla) and asking them to hold the rice. Same great taste with 83 fewer grams of carbs!

At Cold Stone Creamery - you can save 40 calories and 2 grams of fat by choosing shaved chocolate, not chocolate chips, as your topping. Sure you're indulging, by why not indulge smartly?!

At McDonalds - an Egg McMuffin is actually a healthy choice with just 300 calories. Their hotcakes actually pack more than double that amount of calories!
