Eat This Not That

That's the title of the book my daughter's father gave her.

Eat This Not That by David Zinczenko is pretty interesting, with lots of pictures and advice on what to eat -- and what NOT to eat.

For example, McDonald's recommended choice is the Quarter Pounder (410 calories), not the Grilled Chicken Club (570 calories)! What, not the Bacon Ranch Salad with Grilled Chicken and Low-Fat Vinaigrette (290 calories)? Are you kidding?

Or Sonic -- eat the Sonic Burger with Mustard (540 calories), not the Chicken Club Toaster Sandwich (690 calories). Again, the Grilled Chicken Salad with no dressing is only 355 calories. With a low fat dressing, you're still under 400 calories!

And I noticed, the choices don't include fried. Look, if you can't have the fries, dang, you might as well have a salad.

It's a nice little book, very interesting, but I do take issue with some of the Eat This choices. There are lower calorie choices available.

It's a nice little book that makes you think about your food choices.
