"Smart Swap!": Taco Bell
Saturday August 2, 2008
Time for a "Smart Swap!" -- a food switch that will save you tons of calories!
If your favorite Taco Bell fix is the seven-layer burrito, take note: Those seven layers of Mexican goodness contain just about 500 calories!
Instead, order a fresco crunchy taco and add on a side of pinto beans (hold the cheese!) at 110 calories for around half the calories.
And this swap is better than the burrito for another reason: The added protein and fiber from the beans will keep you feeling fuller longer and therefore help prevent overeating.
