What you eat is REALLY more important than exercise, and eating well can be difficult for people with a busy lifestyle. My tip here is Chick-fil-a, which has some great health options for those of us who are on the go. You can now visit www.chick-fil-a.com to find the nutrition and allergen information for all of its menu items! For breakfast, the Egg White Grill is a delicious, protein-packed sandwich made with grilled chicken, scrambled egg whites and American Cheese on a multigrain English Muffin and has just 300 calories. Get a fresh-cut fruit cup on the side! For lunch or dinner, order a Superfood Side instead of fries. It’s made with Kale and Broccolini®, and when paired with Chick-fil-A’s Grilled Nuggets, you can enjoy a full, nutritious meal for just 280 calories. Almost all of Chick-fil-A’s entrée menu items, including classics like the Chick-n-Minis and Original Chicken Sandwich, are under 500 calories.
