These items are loaded with fat. Instead, add healthy salad bar options, such as green peas, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and carrots. Another option is grilled chicken. However, make sure the skin, which contains much of the fat, is removed and low fat or non-fat mayonnaise is substituted for high fat mayonnaise. Baked potatoes are also a good choice as long as they are not topped with butter, sour cream, bacon, or cheese.
Alternative toppings are vegetables and yogurt.
