"While Grasso doesn't point out any single menu item as the "healthiest" ("healthy is very subjective," the expert adds), each tends to have health goals, needs, and preferences that differ from others. "When I'm eating out, I like to look for options that include a good mix of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates," Grasso tells us. "That combo helps keep you satisfied, supports steady blood sugar, and provides more sustainable energy.""
"Grasso adds that her go-to order at Starbucks is the wrap with spinach, feta, and egg whites. "It's lower in calories but still super satisfying, with about 20 [grams of] protein and 3 [grams of] fiber," she says. If she's still looking for some added fiber along with the egg white wrap, she adds that she will "pair it with a side of fruit and call it a day.""
Healthy is subjective; individuals have different health goals, needs, and preferences. Meals that combine protein, fiber, and carbohydrates help promote satiety, steady blood sugar, and more sustainable energy. The egg-white, spinach and feta wrap provides lower calories with about 20 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber; pairing it with a side of fruit increases fiber. Classic oatmeal supplies fiber and slow-digesting carbohydrates; prefer nuts and fruit for flavor rather than heavy brown sugar to avoid unnecessary added sugar. Prioritizing protein, fiber, and minimal added sugar supports better on-the-go meal choices.
