LIMIT STARCHES!

Hey guys! I know we are all making strides to improve our nutrition. The tip of the day is to limit starches. Starches include bread, pasta, potatoes, corn, green peas, and rice. If you consume these do so in small amounts and DO NOT INCLUDE THEM IN DINNER. You can get the 'healthy' carbs you need from fresh fruits and vegetables. So if you eat out... especially like Qdoba or Panera... limit the starches. I love Qdoba burritos! When I went to their calorie counter online I learned that the Peach Salsa, Veggies, Meat, and no tortilla yielded me almost half the calories of having the tortilla with cheese with corn with rice. Just makes sense!!! Good luck campers! - Den
