Tips for Low-Fat Eating

[UKAnnie]

Although I will be indulging now and again whilst in the World, can anyone give any suggestions for low-fat eating? Specifically:

1. Treats/snacks (other than the obvious fresh fruit!).
2. Any meals/choices that are low-fat.

Thanks for any tips/help.

The DBf and I have to eat healthfully when we go, as we're locals and on diets right now.

At some of the counter service restaurants, there are toppings bars, which we use to load up on veggies for our sandwiches and wraps. It makes the meals more filling and seem more substantial when it's a chicken wrap, grilled chicken sandwich, etc.

Some of the counter service restaurants offer baggies of carrots or fruit instead of fries or chips. Definitely ask and take advantage of that wherever you go! They'll do that even at the water parks.

As for sit down restaurants, if you know where you're going in advance, check out the menus online. If you can't do that, I believe most of the restaurants have healthy choices and can make substitutions willingly.

There is at least one fruit stand in each park, and we take advantage of it. The prices aren't *too* bad for what you get. On the ice cream stands, they have fruit-ice pops that I believe should be under 100 calories compared to what they sell in grocery stores.

We also usually carry some form of snack with us just in case - always water, somtimes dried fruit and nuts, a granola bar, things that travel well.

And if we really want to treat ourselves, we'll order one meal/item that's bad, but not TOO bad, and split it along with the healthy meal that we choose.

Good luck!

My "Low Fat Eating" method of choice is:


Worry about it when I get home...................

There are too many great things to eat in WDW to curb my choices for the few days per year that we get to spend there..........

MK- toontown fruit stand has lots of fruit and bags of carrots

MGM- Anneheim Produce

Sometimes we combined fruit with a big soft pretzel for a filling and healthy meal.

Can buy yogurt around the world, we didn't in the parks but did at BW.

Drink water instead of pop and lemonade.

Some restaurants offered a side of fresh fruit vs. fries (ESPN)

DW and I are health conscious and follow lo-fat diets as well. Disney is no problem at all. Almost all the restaurants have reasonably healthy choices. Cosmic Rays has a good veggie burger and a great toppings bar - onions, mushrooms, etc. Rosie's at MGM also has veggie burgers.

One thing to keep in mind - portions at many of the restaurants are huge and easily shared which helps keep the calorie and fat content down.

Wolfgang Puck Express in DTD makes wonderful fresh pasta dishes.

I could go on and one, but needless to say you won't starve if you choose to eat healthy in Disney.

There are enough choices at WDW for anyone to choose what type of eating to do. I have been on Weight Watches and have gone to WDW and each and every time, between watching what i am eating and all of the walking I have lost weight after I came home. That is also with cheating a little. Must have a Pineapple Swirl at MK.
