Ahhh… finally.

Well… fast food outlet Quiznos has finally listed their nutrition information.
So, I went back to Quizno’s site and had a very difficult time in finding it. Food Fact Info has detailed instructions to find the data & has also gone through great lengths by posting the nutritional information on one chart.
Back to what I ate on May 01, 2007 - The raspberry chipotle chicken salad:
Raspberry Chipotle Chicken
Chicken breast, bacon, cheddar, tomatoes, red onion, Raspberry Chipotle Dressing
The salad alone is not bad coming in at 290 calories. It has 14 g of fat, 850 mg of sodium, 9 g of carbs, 4 g of fiber, & 33 g of protein. Take out some of the bacon & cheese (it will eliminate most fat & sodium) and it makes for a pretty decent last minute emergency meal.
According to my journal that day:
Good thing that I only barely tasted the dressing, took out most of the bacon & only ate 1/2 of the flat bread!
The fatbread alone is 330 calories including 12 g of fat, 610 mg of sodium, 47 g of carbs, 2 g of fiber & 9 g of protein.
The dressing alone is 210 calories including 6 g of fat, 510 mg of sodium, 40 g of carbs & 0g of protein.
If eaten all together this would of come out to: 830 calories, 32 g of fat, 1970 mg of sodium, 96 g of carbs (9 g of fiber) & 42 g of protein.
Yikes!
But then again, this is the situation with salads in almost all restaurants & fast food joints. I’m just glad that Quiznos is finally keeping the consumer informed.
Moral of this experience: You can make healthy choices no matter where you go, including Quiznos if you order a smaller portion and be selective about what goes on it.
Happy eating!

Hey Vilma,
Sorry to hear you have been under the weather. I hope you’re feeling better. I have to say, I’m glad in a way that I don’t live in the US - you get such great-sounding food. Raspberry and chipotle dressing? I find it hard enough to control what I eat here in the land of the soggy steak and kidney pie. Ugh. Although are puds are always worth a mention.
How’s your 101 in 1001 going? You don’t seem to have crossed anything new off. Have you just not got round to it? I must thank you again for giving me the idea. I’m down 6, 95 to go. But two months in, some of my goals are already paling in significance. A bit early for a rethink, methinks. Maybe I’ll update the list after 6 months.
Take care,
Angie

Hey Angie… thanks for stopping by. Yes, this cold has been pretty crazy. When it seemed that it was finally gone, I got it again and this time it came with a vengeance! As far as my 101 in 1001, it’s going good. I’ve actually done a couple of things already but have not updated on here as of yet. I’ve taken pictures of it & will post as soon as I get around to it.
As far as my weight, I’m flirting with the 200’s once again…
and I need to get with it. My goal is to lose weight this holiday season, not gain it.
Anyhow… that’s pretty much it. Thanks for checking up.

Hey Mik. Yes, all has been well here and it seems like I have FINALLY gotten over this cold. Only a nagging cough is left but that soon will be over. Fitness & nutrition have been off a bit these past couple of months… I just can’t seem to motivate myself for nothin’ but believe me I try every day. I sure wish that losing weight could be so much easier, but it’s not and well, I will just have to accept that, stop whining & get with the program.
Thanks for stopping by & checking up on me!
Hugs,
Vilma
