Pumpkin RULES and the second we see these goodies pop up in Panera's glass
cases, we want them. BUT we resist. Why? Um, over FIVE HUNDRED CALORIES
for a muffin? We think not. One baked treat is not going to make up about a quarter
of our total food for the day, so we think it's best to move along. Make a loaf of our
Perfect Pumpkin Bread instead!
Ruby's Diner Fresh Baked Apple Pie A-La-Mode = 1,000 calories and 35g fat!
Apple pie is one of those universally appealing desserts, but these numbers sort of gross us out. What kind of ice cream are they putting on that pie?!? How big of a slice must it be?!? 1,000 calories for a fruit-based dessert should be illegal (and if we ruled the land, it would be).
Au Bon Pain Holiday Turkey Wrap = 740 calories and 28g fat!
Those sneaky ABP people KNOW that we all get lured in by the word "holiday." Yeah, cranberries are great with turkey, but you don't need to swallow 28 grams of fat to satisfy that itch (we blame the blue cheese). Thanks, but no thanks. Keep your wrap. We'll wait 'til Thanksgiving for the real deal. And our advice to ABP is to spend less time conjuring up fattening foods and more time trying to find a way to remove the word "pain" from its name.
Boston Market Pastry Top Chicken Pot Pie = 800 calories and 48g fat!
Mmmmmmmm, pot pie. Gravy... pastry dough... the chunky meats... NO! Forget all of those things and think about the 48 grams of fat that come
with it. This pot pie may be delicious, BUT we recommend making our Kickin' Chicken Pot Pie swap instead. It still has the creamy, the flaky,
and the chicken appeal, but less of the bad stuff. And it tastes AMAZING. Pinky swear.
If cool temperatures make you crave stick-to-your-ribs-and-thighs
home-cooking, be careful when dining out. This Southern-style meal has
1,470 calories and a CRAZY amount of fat in it. If you end up at Chili's, you're
WAY better off sticking to the Guiltless Grill. Trust us.
Dunkin' Donuts Pumpkin Donut = 300 calories and 16g fat!
Donuts are tiny. And this time, the Double D packed 300 calories and 16
grams of fat into a small circular cake with a hole in the middle. It's just
not worth it... especially since the thing isn't even filling enough to eat for breakfast. What're you gonna do? Pair it with a couple of eggs? Eat
TWO donuts? Forget it. Skip this thing. And if you're eyeing the Lowfat Caramel Apple Muffin there, just a friendly heads up: That thing may only
have 3g fat, but it contains a whopping 430 calories! Stick with the coffee and egg-white flatbread offerings at DD, people!
