The chicken salad weighs in at 1140 calories! To avoid a salad fat trap: – 1. Choose mostly veggies – 2. Pick only 2 fats like cheese, dressing, avocado – Keep the protein like turkey or chicken to the size of your palm

Cheese is a great source of calcium but only as long as the portion sizes are kept in check.

Most of us consume 458 calories a day from drinks. Only 10% of our calories should come from drinks and only 1/2 cup from sugary drinks like soda. The rest should be milk and water. One serving of meat is 2-3 ounces, or about the size of your palm.

12. 9. How many times a week is it okay to eat dessert? – A. 2 – B. 4 – C. 7 – D. 10 10. How long would you have to run to burn off a 180 calorie energy bar? – A. 10 minutes – B. 17 minutes – C. 25 minutes – D. 36 minutes You can eat dessert every day as long as you keep the portion sizes in check. A few smart choices: fruits and berries, small piece of dark chocolate, a scoop (tennis-ball size) of ice cream. Energy bars are convenient when you need a boost pre- or post-workout or as a quick snack to get you through a slump, but some contain added sugar making them more like candy bars. Look for bars with at least 7-8 grams of protein and less than 180 calories.
