Detailed Quiz Answers
1. Should you pick the Honey Bran Raisin Muffin or the
Boston Kreme
Donut at Dunkin Donuts?
If you chose the muffin, which certainly sounds healthier,
you're wrong. It's loaded with 490 calories and 14 grams of fat, while the
Boston Kreme Donut has 240 calories and 9 grams of fat. Better still—order a
whole-grain bagel (a small one has 350 calories, 4.5 fat grams), eat only half
of it, and save the other half the next day.
2. Are the Chicken McNuggets
or the hamburger the better choice at McDonald’s? At
280 calories and with 10 grams of fat, the small plain hamburger wins hands
down, compared to the high-fat 10 piece McNuggets, which weighs in at 510
calories and 33 grams of fat. If you like chicken and happen to be dining under
the golden arches, I suggest opting for the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, which
is a pretty smart choice at a mere 270 calories and 7 grams of fat. Top it with
the 30-calorie, fat-free Herb Vinaigrette, and you'll be in McHeaven.
3. Got a hankerin' for
pizza? Which is the best choice at Pizza Hut, the Pepperoni Hand Tossed or the
Veggie Lover's Stuffed Crust Pizza? Surprise—the
Pepperoni Hand Tossed (280 calories, 18 grams of fat per slice) is actually
better than the Veggie Lover's Stuffed Crust Pizza (340 calories, 14 grams of
fat per slice). Sure, the veggies are good, but they're sitting atop a mountain
of cheese. Best of all is the Veggie Lover's Hand Tossed Pizza (220 calories, 8
grams of fat per slice).
4. When you stop for
breakfast at McDonald’s, should you have the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit or
the Egg McMuffin? Go
for the McMuffin. It contains 300 calories and 12 grams of fat. The bacon, egg,
and cheese biscuit, on the other hand, is loaded with 480 calories and 37 grams
of fat. |
