"Smart Swap!": Atlanta Bread Co.

Saturday August 16, 2008
Time for a "Smart Swap!"... an easy switch that will save you lots of calories.

One of my favorite mall food court stops is Atlanta Bread Co. How tempting is it? I've trekked across the entire mall with a toaster oven on my shoulder just to snag a banana nut muffin. I figured carrying it burned more calories than walking sans toaster oven, so I splurged.

Now, if I'd done this switch, I'd have saved myself a few more calories than schlepping any small kitchen appliance through the vast expanses of my favorite shopping mecca possibly could burn:

Toss that Banana Nut Muffin Top at Atlanta Bread Company in favor of a piece of banana nut bread to save 190 calories.
