Re: Drive thru diet - say what?

[Guest guest]

Looks like they finally got the message from Subway. I have an app on

my iPhone from Livestrong that gives me the nutritional value of just

about everything out there. It's part of the Daily plate portion of

the Livestrong website. I can look up anything on a major chain's

menu and get the nutritional value. I think the iphone app is $2.99.

My cousin showed me The Daily Plate website over Thanksgiving and I've

been using it ever since. It's free. There's a pay upgrade but I

haven't paid for it and haven't needed it. Once you get the things

you eat regularly in there it really cruises. It also shows the break

down in terms of protein, fat and carbs in a daily percentage.

That'll open your eyes. You can even enter in coffee and if you use

it creamers.

It's just about time Taco Bell came to the party. I'm still working

out of my car. Every now and then I end up out when I thought I'd be

back at the house do make a meal. When I need to stop and grab

something I go to Rubio's and get a couple of soft tacos. 2 Healthy

Mex Mahi Mahi tacos come in at around 360 calories, 30g protein 6 g

fat. Hard to go wrong on that.

I've often eaten just 1 of the meximelts as a healthier option. The only

problem with many of the 7 menu items I think is that they are usually eaten

in " 2's " , so even with only 340 calories, it might take 2 to fill you up.

It would be great if they offered a healthy black beans option like they do

with pintos and cheese, and then you could get one of these wraps at 340c

and a bowl of black beans for maybe another 100 c and be filled up enough to

where it feels like a meal. But yeah, I think it's great that they're

making this a strategy, when they used to only focus on communicating that

their drive-thru is open til 4 am! lol

Fourthmeal!! The first time I saw that on a sign I was like, what??

Americans aren't fat enough? Now they're encouraging us to come to Taco Bell

after midnight for an extra meal? :-P It's good to see them following the

Subway lead and putting a little more emphasis on health vs stuffing your

face with grease and cheese at 2am.

I saw that commercial. It was almost a parody of the first Subway/Jarod

commercials. Unfortunately, I think they are serious.

Just curious to see who has a Taco Bell in their area and if anyone has seen the

commercials for the Drive Thru Diet they've been pimping tonight.   I don't

know what to think!  I shake my head.  lol

 

I'm not a huge fan of Taco Bell but it really does say something about what you

can eat with a calorie restriction and still lose " weight " . 

 

I haven't seen the commercial before tonight.  Must be a New Year's ad thing.
