Eat this, Not That

Eat This, Not That! by David Zinczenko is something you can browse through quickly to get some ideas on how to cut down on calorie consumption.  I was really surprised to find out how many calories were in a Chipotle burrito, and I am crying a bit inside over it!  I looked online and saw they have many different versions of this book too; for kids foods, restaurants, etc.

Italian Tuna

This is a recipe I made up, it's probably not even remotely Italian, but I had something like this once at a deli on the East Side and I think that is what they called it.  I dice up whatever veggies I have on hand.  Today I used about a 1/2 cup each of red pepper, celery, carrot and calamata olives.  I mix it up with 2 cans of tuna, some oil and vinegar, s + p and some dill. You can add chick peas, diced cornichons, cheese, whatever you like! Great with some whole wheat pita bread.
