4 Ways to Make Mexican Food Fit Your Calorie Budget

Who doesn't love Mexican food? It's such a   Rapid Fast Keto Boost Review   staple in many people's diets. It tastes great and is usually fairly fast. The one big problem with this type of food is that it isn't always so nice on the waistline. Calorie packed burritos and enchiladas won't help in the weight loss department unless you're super careful about what you order. I know I never want to nix Mexican food from my diet so I've come up with a few ways to order without the guilty conscience.

Go for Tacos. Tacos are a super easy way to cut the calories but not the taste. Make sure to order your protein such as chicken, beef or fish grilled and without any oils. This one choice could save you approximately 120 calories per taco or more! Next, you'll want to verify that the taco dish doesn't come pre loaded. What I mean by this is that you need to be able to place the toppings on your taco instead of it being served with the toppings already piled on. Choose soft corn taco shells instead of flour. You can save yourself up to 40 calories per shell by choosing soft corn. When your tacos arrive to your table, measure about 1 tablespoon (about 3 teaspoons) of each topping for each taco. You can load them up with lettuce and tomato but for the guac, sour cream and cheese, stick to one T.

 Ditch the Sides. Boring! I know this one is so blah but it's the truth. Refried beans are normally laden with oils and covered in cheese. Yes, you could ask for the beans without cheese but you can't remove the oils that they've been cooked in. Rice is also a calorie packer. Again, you've got a side dish that is loaded with butter and/or oil so the calorie count doubles in just a few tablespoons. Not good for the diet! If you need a side, go for grilled vegetables instead of the heavy stuff.
