'This, Not That' practical for fast-food diners
By Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY

Many diners face a mystery of sorts at restaurants: They don't know how many calories are in the dishes they're eating. And when they guess, they greatly underestimate the numbers.

So says David Zinczenko, author of the new book Eat This, Not That! written with Matt Goulding (Rodale, $19.95). It was No. 19 on the USA TODAY Best-Selling Books list last week.

"If you eat at chain fast-food or family restaurants several times a week, then this book might be helpful for figuring out the best choices," said Keith Ayoob, who works with overweight children and their families at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.

"There are a lot of nutrition details here, so it's always good to log onto the restaurant websites and check the calories and fat grams to make sure you have the latest facts."

"Keep in mind: Sometimes it's better to eat a smaller portion of something you really love than eat the lowest-calorie item on the menu."

Dawn Jackson Blatner, who works with overweight patients in Chicago and is a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association said "this book is a great way to educate people about making healthful decisions at restaurants, the grocery store, vending machines. There are several healthful options for the restaurants. These are realistic changes people can make to save hundreds of calories."

Hi, Jezzie,

LoraJR72: I loved this.

Q: Why does it seem like BEANS are in almost all of your recipes?
A: Honestly, I am obsessed with beans of all shapes and sizes – black, garbanzo, pinto, white, kidney, lentils...oh my! Beans are high in fiber and contain many plant chemicals that protect our health. Plus beans are very filling. My cabinets are full of canned beans that I just rinse and drain
and toss into almost anything and everything I am eating. Even brownies!!

Not many days pass without me eating some type of beans.
( And I love peanut butter. )

I love them both! Though my fiance' gets nervous if I open the black beans.
