I was looking on the web looking for alternative ways of cooking food as I don’t want to risk going out to any fast food resturants. Well I stumbled upon “Fake Out Take Out” - This has some of the best ideas on how to make healthier versions of various take out foods.

Take the photo to the left - They are the healthier version of the McDonalds Snack Wrap With Honey Mustard.

Here is an excerpt from “Fake Out Take out” about this quick food.

Take out:

This little snack wraps up 320 calories, 15g fat and only 1g fiber. It is more like a meal than a snack (Weight Watchers points = 7.5). You can eat 2 of our fake out version and get 9g more protein for only 6 points.

Fake out:
Heat up a Morning Star Chicken Tender in the microwave or toaster oven. While that is cooking you can can lay out your La Banderita low carb wrap (if you can’t find this brand then look for low fat, high fiber wraps), squirt on your Hellmann’s honey mustard and fill with Dole shredded lettuce, Organic Valley or any low fat shredded Monterrey Jack or Cheddar cheese (or if you can find prepackaged shredded cheese blends you can use this as well). Lastly, you remove your tender, cut it into slices & add to wrap. Fold it & serve. Makes a great quick snack for kids or for football game munchies. Prep time is approx. 2 minutes.

Nutrition totals per serving:
Calories 213.5, 6.5 Fat g, Fiber 8g, Protein 19.5g, Weight Watcher Points = 3
