Sweet Tomatoes: Friend or Foe?


I had lunch today at Sweet Tomatoes. I thought, well, salad is easy enough to be healthy with right? Wrong. Well, for me at least. Ryan and I are doing Weight Watchers, so I was trying to be within my allowed points for the day, which are not too many. I piled my plate with veggies, lettuce and a dab of dressing. Ok, doing good. Grabbed a half cup of Caesar Salad and their Wonton Goodness. I added two small bread stick like things, and maybe a cup of pasta then sat down to eat. Noticing the fat free frozen yogurt I grabbed a small bowl, maybe a half a cup. So, not too bad, so I thought. When I looked at the nutrition facts, I racked up almost 30 points!! That is more than my allowed amount in a day. The Caesar Salad, for one cup is 270 Calories. That is one cup full. I was shocked to find out just high in points, fat and calories some of their selections were. I didn't even touch their soups. or their breads! So for me, Sweet Tomatoes, Salad Bar extravaganza is definitely a foe. That is unless I only eat vegetables...
