| 796.1 | D'Angelo's | BPSOF::NEWBERG | | Thu Apr 08 1993 21:49 | 9 |
| One of the things I really liked about D'Angelos is that they weigh all
of their ingredients before they put them in, which means you can ask
them to only give you 2 ounces of protein and the rest in veggies. I
used to do that all the time with the chicken stir fry and even the
veggie one, by having them only use 1 or 2 ounces of cheese. If you
order a D'Lite, they won't put any pickles or hot peppers on it because
they are also keeping the sodium low.
I wish I had some now...

| I like D'Angelo's. Usually, the D'Lite stuff is the same as the
regular stuff, just without the mayo.
I also like Burger King. Somewhere in here I laid out the calorie
information for a whopper, no cheese, no mayo. Not bad.

| I could eat chicken and ginger at the Giant of Siam in Nashua every day
and loose weight. They use very little fat (if any) and the meat is
very lean. In fact I think most Thai food is very low in fat. No MSG
too.

100% wrong. Virtually all Thai curries are made with coconut
milk, which is incredibly high in fat content. Thai cuisine also
uses lots of peanuts, which are about 50% fat.

| Unfortunately (or fortunately) *well* prepared food never seems high in
fat (ie: greasy), no matter what the actual food content is. If you
can *tell* it's fatty, it's probably not very good. Something
"seeming" low in fat doesn't mean it is.
Sushi, fortunately, *is* low in fat. Thank goodness for that.

| Even oily tuna and yellowtail?

| .4 you are right. i wasn't considering the curries. I consider them
to not be thai.
and the only thing i get with peanuts is pad thai.

Sure. Even the oiliest of fishes isn't that bad - it's about
equivalent to a medium cut of red meat, I believe.
Besides, there isn't that much fish. I once weighed out what was really
in sushi...I don't remember exactly but I believe four pieces of sushi
(negiri, not maki [that is, not the rolled kind but the sort with a
piece of fish layed atop a rice ball]) had about an ounce and a half of
fish (100 calories or less, even of oily fish) and four ounces of rice
(~100 calories.) The only other ingredients are rice vinegar, wasabi,
soy sauce (if you dip), a little bit of sugar, and of course pickled
ginger (mmmm!) - all fat free. Maki (rolled sushi) has an even lower
meat:rice ratio (not to mention the seaweed which is supposed to be
good for you.)
Of course, Tomago (sweet egg custardy stuff) is probably high in fat;
and eel (Unagi?) is usually served with a sweet sauce which I have no
idea if it has any fat. But overall, a sushi dinner is pretty damn
low-fat as restaraunt meals go. (Miso soup is healthy as well!)
I'm getting sushi-cravings just typing this in... :-)

Wendy's grilled chicken salad is good - they offer a light
dressing (I just bring WW packets which are lower in
calories) and depending on the day I may only eat half
the breadstick they give you.. At least you can
go to lunch with non-dieters..
