Eating healthy: Mexican or Japanese? (10 POINTS!!)?!


Question: Eating healthy: Mexican or Japanese? (10 POINTS!!)?
I've been really trying hard to eat right so I can shed some weight but I really want to go out for dinner tonight. I'm craving mexican food and japanese food. I know japanese is probably healthier, but what do you think? Also, can you tell me the healthiest items to order at both restaurants? Plus, how healthy are the choices I usually order? Mexican: I usually order a kid's bean and cheese burrito with ground beef, rice, and refried beans on the side. Plus the chips and salsa! And at a japanese restaurant I usually get hibachi shrimp with rice and mixed vegetables!

Answer all questions and you'll get 10 POINTS!!

Thanks in advance!

Answers:

Although Japanese is probably healthier on the whole, both places can be disastrous if you don't know what to order.

I'm not the biggest sushi/Japanese food guy but your shrimp with rice and mixed vegetables is a fairly healthy option for a dinner out. It would even be better if they have brown rice (I would check).

Mexican food, is a tough one but can be done. Chicken or Steak fajitas is probably your best bet. But only use one tortilla. Yes you will have left over chicken and peppers but you can just eat those with a fork. It usually comes with beans and rice. Split that or take it home.



Weight Control and Fitness are ongoing things. I'm probably a lot older than you and in my experiences with a multitude of crash diets and fitness programs. I have discovered that there is no single program which works for everybody, all the time. A program that focuses on inventory (weight) control using calorie input minus calorie output equals weight gain or loss is the best and most realistic approach. The only web site I've found that seems to understand this is old crow ink. You might want to try them out and see if one of their solutions works for you.

I'd go with Japanese. Plus I find Japanese food nicer.

Mexican can be full of fat; Japanese is often done with a lot of soy sauce and other salt sources. So it's a bit six-of-one, half-a-dozen-of-the-other.

Just enjoy it. If you only go out once occasionally it really won't make a blind bit of difference.



Well I think Mexican food has a lot of bad oils and tortillas with bleached white flour, and Japanese/Chinese food is like rice and vegetables and stuff, so I'd go with that one.



hmmm....it depends what you get... as what you said you usually get..... i would go with Japanese food

IM mexican
