I have been very open about my love for tortilla chips. The one food I genuinely cannot keep in the house or have around me. They are too tempting to grab and binge… so how do I attack Mexican restaurants?
1️⃣ Is it a special occasion? If so, keep calories lighter during the day. This will allow us a bigger calorie bank for the meal, allowing us to enjoy whatever we want in moderation.
2️⃣ Just a normal dinner? Here’s what I would do:
🔘 Avoid the chips – I straight up tell the server not to bring them to the table. But if I am at the table with other people and that isn’t appropriate, I do my damndest not to dip in.
🔘 Fajitas with lean protein – I usually do the shrimp or chicken.
🔘 Guacamole and beans – this is preferred over the sour cream and rice.
🔘 Corn tortilla – way less calories than the flour tortillas.
Here are some more of my Dos and Don’ts:
DO: Opt for beans and veggies
DON’T: Choose the fried option
DO: Pick lean meats for your entree
DON’T: Choose the taco salad just because it’s a ‘salad’… that’s a generous word
