Healthy Mall Eating

Is there such a thing as healthy mall eating? Surprisingly yes.It;s not just sugary cinnamon buns and oil soaked fries. There are some good choices out there  that are both healthful and tasty.It's just a matter of finding what works for you. Anyone can have a fun treat after a hard day of shopping.

Salads are always the best bet for healthy mall eating. Every stand has at least one salad dish on their menu.There are even stands, such as Green Leaf that specialize in customized salads.The trick is to make it healthy. be wary of all those creamy dressings like French and Russian.Stick to a lemon and oil  one instead.Also avoid croutons and cheese too. Think veggies .Think variety. Try to have your salad bowl filled with peppers, broccoli florets and grape tomatoes. Beans are always a good add on. If you want to continue in the vegetarian vein then consider  Burger King. It's one of the rare fast food joints that's offering veggie and turkey burgers. Have them with just tomatoes , onions and lettuce, Nix the special sauces and use mustard and a small spattering of ketchup.

Italian and Chinese restaurants abound in malls. The food is fun and easy to eat. However some choices may not be good for you. if you're craving Italian, then stick with smaller dishes of spaghetti. Stay away from the cheesier pizza and calzones.Chinese is also good however be careful with what to order. Egg rolls are usually fried. Some like General Tso's chicken is loaded with sugary sauces and fried meat.Try to aim for noodle soups or Buddha delight which is all veggies, from broccoli to snow peas. Aim for dishes that have very little sauce . Mexican is actually the healthiest and you can always find something that is not only low calorie but delicious. Think plain tacos or burritos with just tomato, lettuce  and guacamole. Don't ask for cheese and sour cream/.

Mall eating can be just as healthy as eating at home. Choose wisely after your shopping spree.  Eat the right foods. Not only will you feel better but you'll be able to fit into all those new duds.
