Real Deal on Nutrition TODAY in Plaza Cafe

Come see me today during lunch at Plaza Cafe dishing out the Real Deal on Nutrition and serving the LiveWell meal.

Today's LiveWell meal at Plaza is: Salmon with Tomato and Fennel Confit, which has 300 calories, 19g fat, 0.5g fiber and 29g protein. Salmon has omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the heart but often lacking in most Americans' diets.

Have nutrition questions? Like healthy food options? Have ideas or healthy recipes that you'd like to share with me?

Come by Plaza Cafe today to say hello and have a great lunch!

Today's LiveWell option at Plaza Cafe is the Curried Chicken with Indian Dahl. The picture here is of my lunch today. I had rice and steamed veggies on the side with my chicken and dahl (lentils). This dish is high in fiber and protein...and it's tasty!

If you are vegan or vegetarian, you can choose just the Dahl (which we make separately from the chicken).

LiveWell Gnocchi at Pines restaurant today

Here is the LiveWell meal at Pines restaurant today. It's gnocchi or "potato pasta."

Nutrition Facts:

• 350 calories
• 4.5g fiber
• 10.5g protein
• vegetarian

Mmmm, good at Goody's

Goody's burritos are AWESOME but there are other choices from this restaurant, including the Grilled Veggies sandwich pictured at right.

This sandwich is vegetarian if you choose the one with cheese. If you are vegan, feel free to order this sandwich "without cheese." Also feel free to request a different bread.

There are many ways to get your daily vegetables and having a sandwich piled high with veggies is a good one! ...or should I say a "Goody's one!?"
