Mystery Food Theatre
According to Eat This, Not That!'s book for kids, this "meal" has 430 calories, 19 grams of fat, 6 grams of saturated fat, 1.5 grams of trans fats, 700 milligrams of sodium, and 4 grams of fiber. I think that this restaurant removed trans fats from their menu since the kids' book was published, but I can't find my more recent book, so I can't know for sure. It may be a kid favorite, but it isn't exactly healthy. Leave a comment guessing what it is. Next week, I'll reveal what it is.

ReplyDeleteHi Bat,
ReplyDeleteDoes your book have Chick Fil A? We are going to Florida in March and are looking forward to a few Chick Fil A meals...there is only one restaurant in our area and it is about 90 minutes away.

Yes, it does have Chick-Fil-A. It's rated as the #1 chain restaurant for kids. The things to avoid are wraps, salads with ranch or caesar dressings, bacon sandwiches, and all of the sugar-packed milkshakes, according to Eat This, Not That! For Kids. According to their best and worst foods in america book, the best thing is the chargrilled chicken sandwich, although it might be a little high in sodium. (just about every one of their meals has a lot of sodium, so avoid it if you have high blood pressure.) Their worst is the Chick-N-Strips salad with buttermilk ranch dressing. It only has 610 calories (not bad for a worst food), but It has more than 2 day's worth of sodium.
