Super Foods

Here are my top 5 restaurants or fast food places that have foods that taste great while not making it impossible to manage my blood sugar.

1. Subway:  A great place that has healthy food that fills you up.  Be careful, just because you are at a generally healthy establishment, does not mean everything is good for you.  Stick to turkey, ham or chicken.  Avoid cheeses, bacon, and fatty/creamy sauces.

2. Chipotle: Yes I said Chipotle.  If you stick to the burrito bowl with rice, veggies, meat, and salsa, you can not go wrong.  Around 50 carbs and 8-10 grams of fat, tastes great and really fills you up.

3. Chic-Fil-A: Chargrilled chicken sandwiches and a fruit cup is a great meal.  Low fat and healthy carbs.  Diet Lemonade to top it off and you can not go wrong.

4. Cafe Express: Basically my lunch everyday.  They have a variety of options that are low in fat and not extremely high in carbs.  Everything tastes great and you can modify any ingredients to fit your needs.  I recommend the Rustica chicken or turkey burger with fruit.

5. Corner Bakery: Very similar to cafe express with their healthy options that taste great.  Despite their assortment of baked goods, a large portion of their meals and appetizers are low cal and low fat that allow for ease in blood sugar management.  I recommend the tomato mozzarella with chicken noodle soup and fruit.

Remember portion control and low fat intake are important pieces to having stable blood sugars.  Always consult your Doctor for expert advice, but these are just some options that I have found that work for me.
