"Smart Swap!": Taco Bell

Saturday August 2, 2008
Time for a "Smart Swap!" -- a food switch that will save you tons of calories!

If your favorite Taco Bell fix is the seven-layer burrito, take note: Those seven layers of Mexican goodness contain just about 500 calories!

Instead, order a fresco crunchy taco and add on a side of pinto beans (hold the cheese!) at 110 calories for around half the calories.

And this swap is better than the burrito for another reason: The added protein and fiber from the beans will keep you feeling fuller longer and therefore help prevent overeating.

To see more Taco Bell calorie counts visit the Taco Bell page at Calorie Count Plus.
