replace the pasta salad with whole wheat pasta salad instead of gross egg salad.

is there any difference between yogurt with fruit on the bottom and yogurt with the fruit blended in? or are the manufacturers being saved the trouble of stirring by fad-chasing consumers?

Upon further review, when you add in the "replace pasta salad with pasta salad" and the fact that all of their caloric information is seemingly totally arbitrary, I have decided that this article single handedly discredits MSNBC as a valid news source. Not that there wasn't compelling evidence already, but it is really convenient that it's all wrapped up into one nice little package.

like it says, the "fruit" the mfg put in is mostly corn syrup. buy your own fruit and stir it in instead.

Most of their advice seems to be less about health and more about caloric intake/metabolism.

I'm not on a diet, dammit. I'll eat a bunch of carbs if I want to. :|

Holy crap. I'd like to see where they found an 850 calorie turkey burger.

There's a vending machine at the ferry terminal with this "Healthy snacks--Your way!" sticker, and a little blurb about their commitment to health. All the snacks in there have less than 200 calories! Or something.

Inside: Reese's Pieces, potato chips, those cheesy cracker packages, red vines, pop tarts..

850 calories for a turkey burger? Where the heck did they find that one? Unless that had tons of mayo on it, I don't think your average turkey burger is that high.

I see the Mens Health logo there. It's the equivalent of Cosmopolitan, except for men.

Yeah, for some reason the office worker who is basically sitting down or lying down their entire life, but only eating ~2000 calories a day, is considered "more healthy" than the runners, bikers, mountain climbers, basketball players, and so on who are eating thousands upon thousands of calories. At least, according to MSNBC.
