Carls Jr Chili Cheese Fries

In spite of the name, French fries are practically an American birthright. They’re offered as the first choice side dish with nearly every fast-food and sit-down chain meal available. But here’s the catch: In a recent study of 7,318 New York City patrons leaving fast food chains during the lunch hour, researchers learned that combo meals—meaning meals with sides—averaged 1,100 calories each, which is over half a day’s allotment. It goes to show: When your regular meals at these restaurants are already pushing the nutritional envelope, adding an extra 300 (or more!) empty calories can make for a dietary disaster.

The authors of the best-selling weight-loss series Eat This, Not That! and Cook This, Not That! have rounded up three of the worst orders of fries available at chain restaurants across the country. We’ve also offered up the surprising winner of the fast food French fry cook-off—you’ll never believe which restaurant chain produces the healthiest fried spuds!

Worst Curly Fries                                     <br />640 calories<br />34 g fat (5 g saturated, 0 g trans)<br />1,460 mg sodium<br /><br />Arby’s is famous for its curly fries—too bad they’re overloaded with fat, calories and sodium. When one side dish accounts for nearly three-quarters of your daily allotment of salt, you know there’s a problem. As fun as these curli-Qs are, stick to the Homefry variety at Arby’s—downsizing to a small Curly Fries will still leave you with a 410-calorie side, which is more than many of Arby’s sandwiches!<br /><br />Bonus tip: For full nutrition information for all of your favorite chain restaurants and thousands of foods, download the bestselling Eat This, Not That! iPhone app. It’s like having your own personal nutritionist in your pocket at all times, and will help you avoid the caloric calamities and guide you to the best ways to lose your belly fast.<br /><br />[color]Eat This Instead!<br />Homestyle Fries (Small)<br />350 calories<br />15 g fat (2 g saturated)<br />720 mg sodium[/color]<br /><br />Worst Wedge Fries                               [img]Jack in the Box Bacon Cheddar Wedgeshttp://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/bitbucket/JITBBaconCheddarWedges.jpg[/img]<br />715 calories<br />45 g fat (13 g saturated, 1 g trans)<br />905 mg sodium<br /><br />It doesn’t take a nutritionist to identify the hazards of a grease-soaked, cheese-slathered sack of deep-fried potatoes, but by appearance alone, nobody could guess what’s really at stake when you order this side from Jack’s. The American Heart Association recommends that people cap their trans fat intake at 1 percent of total calories. For people on a 2,000-calorie diet, that’s about 2 grams per day. See the problem? Another issue, of course, is the overload in calories—about one-third your daily allotment! <br /><br />Bonus tip: Cheese fries are clearly an unhealthy choice. But sometimes healthy-seeming options are just as dangerous as the obvious diet-sinkers<br /><br />[color]Eat This Instead!<br />Grilled Chicken Strips (4) with Fire Roasted Salsa<br />185 calories<br />2 g fat (0.5 g saturated)<br />805 mg sodium<br /><br />Worst Fries for Your Blood Pressure  [img]http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/bitbucket/DQChiliCheese.jpg[/img]<br />Dairy Queen Chili Cheese Fries<br />1,240 calories<br />71 g fat (28 g saturated, 0.5 g trans)<br />2,550 milligrams sodium<br /><br />This one’s a no-brainer: Chili, cheese, fried potatoes. But even a savvy eater couldn’t possibly anticipate how bad these 3 ingredients could be when combined by one heavy-handed fast-food company. There’s as much sodium in this side dish as you’ll find in 15 strips of bacon. Stick with classic ketchup and recapture nearly a day’s worth of sodium and 930 calories.<br /><br />Bonus tip: Save calories, time, and money with our free Eat This, Not That! newsletter.

Your safest bet, of course, is to skip the fries altogether (you’d be better off adding a second patty to your burger), but if you can’t bring yourself to eat a burger sans fries, then split a regular order. That will still add 310 calories to your meal, but it beats surrendering more than 75% of your day’s calories to a greasy paper bag. <br /><br />Bonus tip: Sides account for a third of our combo-meal calories—but drinks account for a quarter of the total calories we consume each day! <br /><br />[color]Eat This Instead!<br />Regular Fries (1/2 serving)<br />310 calories <br />15 g fat (3 g saturated) <br />45 mg sodium[/color]<br /><br />Worst Fries in America<br />Chili’s Texas Cheese Fries w/Jalapeno Ranch<br />1,920 calories<br />147 g fat (63 g saturated)<br />3,580 mg sodium<br /><br />The only thing that comes close to redeeming this cheesy mound of lard and grease is the fact that it’s ostensibly meant to be shared with a few friends. Even so, you’ll collectively be taking in an entire day’s worth of calories, three days’ allotment of saturated fat, and a day and a half’s allotment of sodium. What’s even scarier, if you can imagine, is that even if you try to order more sensibly and ask for the “half” order of Texas Cheese Fries, you’ll still receive a disastrous dish that packs in 1,400 calories. There’s one French fries side dish at Chili’s that’s acceptable, although even in its much-reduced form, you’d be better off splitting it.<br /><br />[color] Eat This Instead!<br />Homestyle Fries<br />380 calories<br />23 g fat (4 g saturated)<br />230 mg sodium[/color]<br /><br /><br />[size][color]Best Fast Food Fries in America<br />McDonald’s Small French Fries<br />230 calories<br />11 g fat (1.5 g saturated)<br />160 mg sodium<br /><br />Out of the big three fast food joints (Mickey D’s, Wendy’s, and BK), you’ll find the least caloric, least salty fries underneath the golden arches. The key to ordering a smart side dish is portion sizing—and McDonald’s has that under control. [/color][/size]<br />[/color][/color])

Eat Pasta, Drop Pounds!

Happier, Healthier You

Ever tried to avoid carbs in order to lose weight and found they still follow you everywhere you go? At my favorite restaurant, the fettuccine on the menu taunts me; at my friend’s baby shower, the sandwich platter beckons much louder than the mixed greens. And in a business meeting, the cookies distract me. Whether it’s a basket of warm bread, a tasty pasta or tantalizing desserts, carbs can be hard to quit.

Thankfully, you don’t have to. Despite their reputation for helping pack on the pudge (remember Dr. Atkins?), certain carbs can actually help you feel fuller longer and fight fat. The key? Fiber—found in whole grains, oats, certain legumes and even popcorn! When people follow a high-fiber diet—at least 34 grams of fiber a day—they absorb up to 6 percent fewer calories, research shows.

Before you raid your breadbox, learn these two simple carb commandments to enjoy pasta and all your fave carbs and still peel off pounds.

Carb commandment #1: Look for whole grains. Unlike their white counterparts, whole-grain versions of rice, bread and pasta are high in satiating, fat-fighting fiber. Opt for whole-grain pastas and replace your usual loaf of bread with one that offers 4 to 5 g fiber per slice, says SELF contributing editor Janis Jibrin, R.D. For breakfast, nibble on whole-grain waffles. On pizza night, try whipping up a whole-wheat crust at home. Order brown rice with your Chinese stir-fry, and use whole-wheat tortillas on Mexican Mondays. These subtle (and scrumptious!) swaps will help you slim!

Carb commandment #2: No need to pig out—even on whole wheat! As with every nugget of nutrition advice, moderation is key. Fortunately, whole grains contain the same number of calories as refined or white carbs, but they serve up more fiber, so you’ll be satisfied with a smaller portion, says Madelyn Fernstrom, Ph.D., author of The Real You Diet (Wiley). Go ahead and have your Butternut Squash and Fried Sage Pasta, but serve it in a cereal bowl rather than a Frisbee-sized dinner plate and stick to a 1-cup serving. Mangia!

Michael Phelps hits Vancouver, says London will be final Olympics

The most decorated athlete in Olympic history began a five-day trip to Vancouver by making a little news of his own. Michael Phelps told reporters that the 2012 London Olympics will be his last and that he won't attempt to repeat his eight-gold-medal performance in two years.

"I told myself I will not swim over the age of 30, and I will not swim over the age of 30," he said.

Phelps will be 27 at the London Olympics. He has won 14 gold medals in his career, five more than any other athlete. Though he didn't specifically say how many events he'd do in London, five or six would be the most likely (three relays plus two or three individual events).

Usually you can take athlete promises with a grain of salt — BRETT FAVRE — but Phelps strikes me as the kind of guy who will stay retired. Swimming is a sport for the young and a 31-year-old competing in the Olympics against 19-year-olds doesn't sound like an enviable task, even for the greatest in the history of the sport. Yet, Phelps didn't say he was retiring immediately after London. Could he stick around long enough to lure him back into the pool in 2016?

If anything, I'd bet more on Phelps coming back in 2020 than in 2016. Imagine that story: Out of the pool for eight years, the greatest Olympic champion returns for one event. That's the stuff from which lucrative endorsement deals are made.

After arriving in the host city of the 2010 Winter Games, Phelps took in a hockey game and took part in some sponsorship events with Canadian gold medalist Alexandre Bilodeau. Before he leaves on Monday he hopes to see Apolo Ohno race in short-track speedskating and also see the highly anticipated U.S.-Canada hockey game on Sunday.

In May 2008, a woman in White Plains, NY recovered her stolen Macintosh laptop
by activating the Mac's webcam remotely and taking a picture of the thief. The
woman's apartment had been ransacked and burglarized April 27, 2008. Among the
items taken were two laptops, two flat-screen televisions, two iPods, gaming
consoles, DVDs and computer games. The theft was reported to police, but there
were no leads regarding the identity of the thieves.

The Mac, however, had a program installed on it called "Back to My Mac," which
enables remote operation of the computer. In May 2008, the woman received a call
from a friend, asking if she was operating the computer at the time. The friend
showed the woman's computer as being connected to the internet (probably  via an
on-line chat program). Realizing that the thieves were probably operating her
computer at the time, the woman activated her Mac's webcam remotely via the
"Back to My Mac" program. She attempted to take a photograph of the thief. At
first, all she got was an empty chair. Eventually, however, the thief returned
to the chair in front of the computer, and the woman got a picture of him. She
showed the picture around to her friends, and eventually managed to identify the
thief as Edmon Shahikian, an acquaintance of one of her friends. Shahikian had
attended a party in the woman's apartment some weeks before the robbery. Thanks
to the photograph, the woman eventually
  managed to recover most of the items that were stolen from her apartment.

Now, a high school in Pennsylvania is being accused of spying on its students at
home via a similar program. Harritan High School is part of the Lower Merion
School District in Ardmore, PA (a suburb of Philadelphia). The school issued
laptops to its students which had integrated webcams and a remote activation
program similar to "Back to My Mac." An assistant principal at Harritan High
School recently complained to a sophomore student, Blake Robbins, that he had
been engaging in "inappropriate behavior" with the laptop, which remains the
property of the school. The principal provided a photograph of the student,
taken in his home by remote activation of his laptop's webcam, as proof of the
student's "inappropriate behavior."

Blake Robbins and his parents (Michael and Holly Robbins) are now suing Harritan
High School for the invasion of their privacy. They say the school never
informed them of the remote activation software, or that the school would be
spying on them in their home. The school claims the remote activation program on
the laptops is only ever used to help recover stolen computers. They are not
accusing Blake Robbins of attempting to steal the laptop which was issued to
him, however.

The nature of the mysterious "inappropriate behavior" by Blake Robbins is not
being specified by either party. The Robbins lawsuit states in part, however:

–---------- QUOTE ----------
"As the laptops at issue were routinely used by students and family members
while at home, it is believed and therefore averred that many of the images
captured and intercepted may consist of images of minors and their parents or
friends in compromising or embarrassing positions, including, but not limited
to, various stages or dress or undress."

The school now says it has deactivated the security program on all of the
laptops it has issued to students.

12 years for me since Rob is 12 years younger than I!! ::)
