A Manhattan Nutritionist Knows Where to Trim the Fat

Many New Yorkers face a typical lunchtime conundrum. With busy workday, they often work through the lunch hour and make bad food choices. The result over time is more hours sitting and more calories with each bad food choices. Those who try to take control of the situation find themselves eventually in the office of a Manhattan nutritionist. Before doing that, here are three simple tips to keep handy when you take out your wallet for lunch.

Use spices instead of sauces. Everyone wants a little flavor and it isn't unusual to ask for a little sauce, or gravy, or maybe even some syrup. However, it is easy to spice up a very simple dish with some paprika or pepper, or anything else that is on your spice rack. And that is important. Spices can last a long time on the shelf. Buy a few of the more popular to have around when in need. You will be glad you have them to reach for instead of just reaching for a ladle of gravy.

Use olive and vinegar instead of creamy dressing. Creamy dressings mean extra saturated fat and extra calories. At the same time it is very easy to ruin the good intentions of a salad by heaping on the dressing. Instead, reach for some olive oil and balsamic vinegar or something with those as a base ingredient. Olive oil, while it does pack some caloric punch, is filled with mono unsaturated, or heart healthy, fats. Your Manhattan nutritionist will be glad to know you drizzled that over your salad.

If you eat meat, choose leaner, higher quality cuts of beef or chicken. Lean means less saturated fats. Again a heart healthy principle. The less marbleized your steak cut is, the lower the fat content. This may take away from the flavor a bit, but that is what those spices are for. With the help of a Manhattan nutritionist, find the happy medium of how lean you can go and still enjoy your steak. Of course, fish and chicken can prove to be better options when cooked properly.
