Healthy Meals at Any Mexican Restaurant

A typical Mexican restaurant can be a weight watcher’s nightmare. Refills of chips keep getting dropped on the table, margaritas are flowing like waterfalls and mounds of rice are piled sky-high on everyone’s plate. But hold on a minute. A true Mexican cuisine has stuff for weight watchers as well. Yes, eating a healthy Mexican meal can be your dream come true. If only you choose the right dishes and add a bit of innovation, as you fight to stay slim and trim.  Then, dining at a Mexican joint doesn’t have to be stressful or overindulgent. Most local spots have plenty of healthful options that will leave you satisfied and won’t ruin a week’s worth of your calorie cutbacks.



Healthy options to go with:-

  • Appetizers
  • Avocadoes & Veggies

Opt for a guacamole at a Mexican restaurant – an avocado-based dip. Avocadoes are filled with heart-healthy and anti-inflammatory nutrients. Their fat content curbs pre-dinner healthy pangs. And instead of dipping chips in your guacamole, go for a healthy choice of cut vegetables.

Tortilla Soup

  • A Tortilla soup is wholesome and the best thing is that it doesn’t contain a lot of calories. 
  • Drinks
  • Tequila

Tequila served either straight up or on the rocks with lime is refreshing, and does not have any sugar-packed additives.

SALAD ENTRÉES

Grilled Shrimp Salad

Even if it’s not on the menu, you can get a grilled shrimp salad at any Mexican restaurant. Salad veggies are endowed with healthy nutrients like fiber. The grilled shrimp will get you the protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids that your body needs. The dressing will add to your calories, so watch the amount of dressing used. A light balsamic dressing on the side is best.



Make-your own low-calorie, nutritious, meal

Beans, Grilled Chicken and Avocado Salad

Tacos with Romaine Lettuce leaves

In the case of Tacos you can wrap them in in romaine lettuce leaves instead of corn tortillas. Avoid eating them with cheese or sour cream and ask for avocado and salsa instead. Salsa adds a lot of flavor and, if you order the spicy variety, it can also help boost your metabolism. Avocados contain heart-healthy fats.
