“Eat This, Not That!” by David Zinczenko

I should’ve known that orange chicken at Panda Express was bad for me. It was a case of ignorance is bliss, but no more. Now that the guys at Men’s Health have put together Eat This, Not That!, you’ll know exactly what you’re putting in your body and how terrible it is. Nearly every national chain restaurant is covered, from McDonald’s on up to classier joints such as California Pizza Kitchen. I was thinking of getting the crispy fish next time at P.F. Chang’s, but I found out it’s deep fried in a big vat of oil. Perhaps I’ll need to try their suggestion, the Pad Thai, instead. The crumbled peanuts and tangy sauce pack a ton of protein, so at least you’ll be getting something good with all those carbs.
