The 5 Healthiest Foods to Eat at Timmy's

I was telling my sister about my last blog and my discovery of how bad in general the food there is for you (Ironically while stuffing our faces with fried shrimp at Red Lobster - but it was her birthday!). She inspired me to write this post because she asked, "So what is there to eat at Timmy's?" So here I present to you the 5 best foods to eat at Tim Horton's:

1. Chicken wraps: 190 calories each and relatively low-fat (4.5 - 6g depending on the dressing). Save more calories and fat by requesting less dressing.

Yummy AND one of the healthiest choices on the menu!

2. Oatmeal: For breakfast only, but the only breakfast item that's trans-fat free. Around 220 calories per serving. A little higher in sugar, but you can request less maple or berries on top to save some sugar.

3. Soups: Stick to soups with clear broth rather than cream-based soups - most of these have trans fat. Chicken noodle, minsestrone, and hearty vegetable are all good choices that are under 120 calories and low-fat.

Remember, avoid the cream-based!

4. Garden vegetable sandwich: This is the only sandwich I eat at Timmy's. Get it with swiss cheese to eliminate the trans fat. Around 320 calories.

5. Drinks: Coffee, lattes, and cappucinos are all under 100 calories. Try iced lattes instead of iced capps - 11g of sugar in a small vs. 32g in a small iced capp. Also, if you must have hot chocolate or french vanilla, try requesting it with half coffee to halve the sugar.

Hope this helps! Again, check out Tim Horton's nutritional info for further information.
