Fried Rice and Spring Rolls

Today for lunch, I had fried rice and two spring rolls.  These types of foods are common among Asian Americans and sometimes can be considered comfort foods and apart of our daily intake.  I had approximately one cup of fried rice and two spring rolls with shrimp. 

Fried Rice
   Fried Rice is approximately 228 calories in a one cup serving, it varies depending on what type of oil used and other ingredients you decide to put in it. 
    

Spring Rolls
   Again, spring rolls is approximately 82 calories for each serving and since I had two, it is about 164 calories.  The amount of calories also depends in what you put in it as well.  A popular ingredient to put in spring rolls is shrimp or slices of meat such as pork. 

Since these types of foods are low in calories, I would say this is a pretty healthy meal.  The fried rice could be altered a little bit such as adding more vegetables. 

First Blog Post - Whataburger

As my first blog post I will be posting up what I had consumed for lunch today and that would be a burger from Whataburger.  The reason for posting up my lunch and what I had consumed is to remind myself what I ate and what could be a healthier alternative for me.  I would say that I am not the healthiest eater therefore in order for me to eat healthier, I should keep track of what I eat and try to change it.  So that will be the importance of my blog and the theme for it.  So today, I will be listing the nutritional information for my burger that I had from Whataburger.

A healthier alternative instead of a whataburger and small fries would be a whatachick'n sandwich which is 550 in calories and a garden salad which is 50 calories.  That is 270 calories less than an order of small fries and this is a healthier alternative if I were to count calories.  Some people rather count total fat or some other
else on the nutrient list.
