Eating Healthy at Almondsbury Mexican Restaurants

by Brian Kline March 5, 2010

There are several healthy choices to eat from Almondsbury Mexican restaurant menus, while staying away from selections that are a dieter's nightmare. However, you'll eat healthy at an Almondsbury Mexican restaurant if you make smart choices.

Avoid the chips served as an appetizer at every Almondsbury Mexican restaurant. That saves you at least an extra 200 calories and nine grams of fat in a single serving. Instead, request fresh carrot sticks or celery sticks to dip into the salsa.

From Almondsbury Mexican restaurant's menus, select items that are grilled or baked rather than fried or breaded. Almondsbury Mexican restaurant's serve up nice grilled chicken fajitas or tacos al carbon that are flavorful and are not nearly as high in fat and calories as enchiladas or tacos.

Ask your favorite Almondsbury Mexican restaurant to reduce the cheese and sour cream toppings from your meal. Those will add lots of extra fat and calories to your dinner. If you are looking to include protein in your meal, consider something made with black beans, grilled shrimp, or chicken instead.

Request your Almondsbury Mexican restaurant for corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. On average, this saves you another 200 calories and about nine grams of fat. If you are sticking to a strict diet, eat only the meat and vegetables and leave the tortillas.
Every Almondsbury Mexican restaurant serves a delicious salsa that can be used as a salad dressing rather than a calorie drenched ranch or vinaigrette. Most salsas have little to no fat in them and are low in calories.

Cut your Almondsbury Mexican restaurant meal in half and save the rest for lunch the next day. It might not be the ideal method for eating healthy, but reducing how much you eat at one sitting means taking in roughly 210 calories rather than 420 calories for just two enchiladas.

Some popular dishes to avoid at Almondsbury Mexican restaurants include: nachos, chimichangas, chalupas, taquitos, chile relleno, (which are all deep-fried) and "double decker" burritos.
Some better Almondsbury Mexican restaurants choices are: chicken fajitas, bean burritos, a sauteed chicken dish with peppers and onions (hold the cheese!), or a soft taco. Eat all the salsa you want!

Stick to your diet and still enjoy a fresh Almondsbury Mexican restaurant meal today!
