Word of the Day

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4

The Worst Mall Foods in America

WORST "HEALTHY" SNACK
Starbucks
Cranberry Flax Muffin
410 calories
17 g fat (1 g saturated)
57 g carbs
32 g sugars

SUGAR EQUIVALENT: 3 Scoops of Breyers All Natural Butter Pecan Ice Cream

This sneaky muffin sounds so harmless—how can you go wrong with cranberries and flax? But it's got as many calories as Starbucks' more sinful-sounding scones, and its shockingly high amounts of sugar won't do your blood-sugar levels any favors, especially if you're at risk of diabetes and trying to cut back. If you're going for a light and healthy breakfast with your morning coffee, choose the Banana Loaf instead, and save 150 calories and 13 grams of sugars.

Eat This Instead:
Banana Loaf
260 calories
10 g fat (1 g saturated)
39 g carbs
19 g sugars



WORST SMOOTHIE
Jamba Juice
Peanut Butter Moo'd 24 oz
800 calories
21 g fat (6 g saturated)
131 g carbs
115 g sugars

SUGAR EQUIVALENT: 12 scoops of Breyers All Natural Mint Chocolate Chip

Maybe it's called a "Moo'd" because drinking 800 calories as a snack will make you feel like a cow. The calories aren't the only problem, though. In addition to increasing your blood sugar levels (making you more susceptible to diabetes), researchers from Duke University found that eating too many sugars and carbohydrates may also harm your liver. While the sugar content in the Strawberry Nirvana isn't ideal, it's a major improvement (plus it all comes from natural sources).

Drink This Instead:
Strawberry Nirvana 16 oz
170 calories
0 g fat
36 g carbs
30 g sugars


WORST MALL FOOD IN AMERICA
Quizno's
Large Tuna Melt Club (with cheese and dressing)
1,820 calories
147 g fat (27 g saturated, 1.5 g trans)
2,020 mg sodium
85 g carbs

CALORIC EQUIVALENT: 12 Taco Bell Fresco Style Beef Tacos!

Tuna off the grill or straight from the can is perfectly healthy; tuna drowning in mayonnaise, blanketed in melted cheese, and slicked with oily dressing is decidedly not. Not only does this sandwich carry with it nearly an entire day's worth of calories and sodium, it also contains as much fat as 49 strips of bacon. Ouch.

Eat This Instead:
Small Tuna Melt (no cheese, no dressing)
500 calories
33 g fat (5 g saturated)
630 mg sodium
37 g carbs


WORST NACHOS
La Salsa
Chicken Nachos
1,600 calories
83 g fat (35 g saturated)
2,510 mg sodium
148 g carbs

SODIUM EQUIVALENT: 15 bags of Lay's Potato Chips!

Even if you split it with a friend, that's still more fat, carbs, and calories than you should be consuming in a meal, let alone an appetizer. Eat it alone and you'd have to run 11 miles to burn off all the calories from this one hulking mound. And the sky-high sodium content qualifies these nebulous nachos for one of the saltiest foods in America.

Eat This Instead:
Nothing. The next best appetizer is the salsa and chips, which still rings in at 700 calories. Your best bet would be to save room for the main course—with many of their dishes topping a thousand calories, you'll need all the space you can get!


WORST SALAD
Quizno's
Roasted Chicken with Honey Mustard Flatbread Salad
1,110 calories
74 g fat (14.5 g saturated, 0.5 g trans)
2,030 mg sodium
70 g carbs

CALORIC EQUIVALENT: 5 packages Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

Think salads are a safe bet? Think again. Some of America's very worst meals come in leaf form, and Quizno's exploits the healthy reputation of greens more thoroughly than anyone; half the salads on the menu top 1,000 calories. Unfortunately, all meal-size salads are out, so if you're in search of something legitimately healthy, order a side salad and a cup of soup.

Eat This Instead:
Side Chopped Salad with Reduced Fat Buttermilk Ranch
125 calories
9 g fat (0 g saturated)
655 mg sodium
14 g carbs

Encourage yourself!!!

1 Peter 5:8-11 (Amplified Bible)
5:8 Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.


5:9 Withstand him; be firm in faith [against his onset--rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined], knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world.



5:10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace [Who imparts all blessing and favor], Who has called you to His [own] eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you.


5:11 To Him be the dominion (power, authority, rule) forever and ever. Amen (so be it).

We Win!!!
