EATING OUT
SANDWICH SHOP
EXTRAS
Avocados: Creamy and so heart-healthy.
Mayo: A spoonful is just fine. (Basically, it’s eggs, oil, and lemon juice.) Also
on my yes list: oil, vinegar, and all kinds of mustard.
MEAT AND CHEESE
Get grilled or roasted: Meat prepped that way beats a processed cold cut—
those tend to have not-so-healthy additives and lots of sodium. (I’d choose roast
beef over salami any day.) Chicken and turkey are my go-tos.
Use this calorie-cutting trick: Opt for meat or cheese—not both. Most cheeses
are on par, nutritionally, so get your favourite and stick to no more than two
slices.
THREE COMBOS I LOVE
A.C.L.T.: avocado, grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, mustard, salt, and pepper.
Veggie sub: any type(s) of peppers; cucumbers; tomato; red onion; provolone;
oil and vinegar.
The healthy meatball: meatballs, tomato sauce, sweet peppers, olives, spinach,
and Italian seasoning.
VEGGIES
Raw veggies: The more, the merrier—heck, just throw a whole salad on there.
(So what if you need a fork to eat it?) Cucumbers, red onion, peppers, tomato . . .
Green means go: Lettuce is great; spinach is even better. Whichever greens you
