Nutrition Info not available

Steak & Feta Salad – hold the dressing
If you must have pasta Demos does offer a whole wheat pasta available if you request it.
|
The fresh baked bread, the white pasta and of course, the Fettuccine Alfredo.

|
|
Fresh Never Frozen Grilled Atlantic Salmon 6 oz
With either the steamed broccoli or asparagus
|
The Rolls! I know they are tempting but they are also made with the evil white flour & sugar. One roll is 180 calories and 7 grams of fat. They are served with margarine which is another major no no!

*I love their interactive Tool
|
Outback Special 6 oz
Fresh Seasonal Veggies
|
The Bloomin’ Onion – battered in white flour and deep fried! One is supposed to serve 6 at 260 calories each serving. Let’s face it how many people stop at their allotted serving?

*I love that a link to the ingredients for each food item is available; the interactive meal planner is cool!
|
Low-fat Vegetarian Black Bean Soup*
Classic Café Salad (without the Vinaigrette
Apple
*contains cooked carrots, potatoes and corn oil so this does not qualify as a low GI food
|
Pastries & Sweets
Be sure to read the ingredients carefully, even their chicken has added sugar as well as the apple chips on the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad

*Info varies by area, first search for the location, then view the nutrition info which is a tiny link at the end of the menu. There is also a link on the nutrition pdf which shows more detailed nutrition info.
|
Simple Salmon topped with fresh tomatoes and served with broccoli and asparagus
|
There is a lot to resist on their menu so be careful to research your options in advance. Anything that is “parmesan-crusted” is very high in calories, fat, sodium and carbs. Also, the Mama’s Trio has 1280 calories, 28g fat, and a whopping 3360mg sodium!

|
Pick your poison at their awesome Salad Bar!
|
Every burger on the menu – the one with the lowest calories was the Turkey burger and it has 890 calories!
|

|
|
The Gladiator made with blueberries & pomegranate
*remember that fruit juice is not a low GI food
|
Ask for your smoothie “Skinny” so the turbinado sugar and honey are left out of your smoothie.
|

|
Beverages – Coffee, tea (unsweetened) or a plain latte. I carry my bottle of Vanilla Stevia with me and add a few drops to my latte along with some sprinkles of plain cinnamon, yummy cinnamon vanilla latte.
|
Flavored syrups – the sugar or Splenda are not good for you.
While there does not appear to be any foods that do not contain some form of sugar, Starbucks does advertise that their new menu items have no artificial flavors, no artificial trans fats, no artificial dyes, no high-fructose corn syrup.
