Stop by the corner bakery, and you are sure to have a delicious morning. You will never have to settle for a single dish when you can have two. Coin Bakery Cafe-Also known as CBC Restaurant Corporation - is an American coffee chain that offers everything from the bakery (like bread, pastries, desserts, etc.) to fast market dishes, such as soups, salads, pasta, paninis, gastronomic sandwiches, andbreakfast dishes.

You will find essentially everything here, but that does not necessarily mean that each article in the CB menu is nutrition. We consulted with nutrition experts, who weighed on the best and worst dishes located in the Bakery Corner menu, and the results could surprise you.

Breakfast companies

You could hear the words"Bacon"And" bowl "and assumes that this dish is a non-GO, but it's a much better option than some of the other dishes. You gethealthy fats of the lawyer andegg proteinsSo everywhere, it's not so bad.

"Although this breakfast entrance has a considerable amount of saturated fats, it has a lot less calories than the French cinnamon toast entry", says Amanda A. Kostro Miller, RD, LDN, member of the advisory board forSmart life. "In addition, it can keep you longer than you get from bacon grease, lawyer fat, egg protein and certain vegetable fibers that are involved."

While we love a good roller of cinnamon, it's not a secret that this breakfast dish-slash-dessert is not the best thing for you. Combine it withFrench toast, bacon and eggs, and it's a lot of calories for a very little nutritive nutrient gain.

"Eating all this cinnamon roll entrance can represent more than 50% of your total calories for the day - and that's if you eat 2,000 calories a day; some people eat less than 2,000 calories in a day)" , "said Kostro Miller. "Although it's good to enjoy some foods from time to time, this breakfast option is very calorie dense with minimal nutrition."

Breakfast Sandwich + Power Apartments

"Compared to other offers, this sandwich has a reasonable quantity of calories and can be better adapted to people in a lower calorie system sincecontains less than 500 calories, "Kostro Miller said." In addition, you get healthy fat from the lawyer, cheese and egg proteins and certain fibers in the green. Compared to other options, this sandwich also has a less saturated fat. "

With bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, balsamic Aïoli black pepper and white toast, there is nothing too bad about this sandwich, right? Wrong. Sodium levels are what landed the BBLT + EGG sandwich on our worst list.

"If it was not for the sodium content in this sandwich, it could actually be on the" best "list. Unfortunately, sodium is absolutely across the roof," says Christina Fitzgerald, Ms. Rd LDN, ofFitzgerald Nutrition. "Forcardiac health, stay below 2,000 milligrams a day is recommended. Arriving at 2,730 milligrams of sodium, this meal will probably leave you to feel bloated and reach a glass of giant water. "

OATMEAL + YOURT

"Even if this meal has half of the fiber compared to the oat option, it is always a high fiber meal. He also has more and less calories and is a good option for those who try to look at their weight, "said Kostro Miller.

In addition to five grams of fiber, you also get a good source of protein here (yogurt) and natural sugar (rather than added sugar) of the berries of the perfect.

"One thing to keep in mind, however, less fiber and fewer protein could make you higher earlier, but at least you can have some wiggle hall if your breakfast was only 370 calories, "said Kostro Miller.

RELATED: Recipes without added sugar You can not wait to eat.

With natural sweetness and sugar of thebanana, thissteel cut could have been a healthier option. However, additional elements like whipped cream and caramel add 52 grams ofadded sugar in the article.

"The best thing that this combo was the 10 grams of fibers," says Kostro Miller. "However, this meal has a lot of sweetness, which gives it a quantity of sugar to 52 grams of sugar per serving. Although I'm sure it's delicious, if there is a way to get less caramel , whipped cream, candied and sweet crispy pecanes on this oatmeal, do it. "

Fresh salads

These 22 grams of sugar come from many fruits: strawberries, grapes, oranges, dried cranberries and a strawberryVinaigrette. But fruits are not all these spinach Sweet dirty for that. Withspinach, sweet chips, goat cheese and green onion, this salad is a fairly rounded option with carotenoids, vitamins C and K, folic acid,ironand calcium.

"If you missed breakfast at breakfast, you can get it in your lunch with this option," says Kostro Miller. "Also, have the darkness [the leafy greens] as this salad gives a boost of nutrients!"

However, Kostro Miller adds that a disadvantage is the lack of protein in this salad.

But it's a salad, it can not be all this bad, right?

"This salad is probably the best of the worst list," says Fitzgerald. "The main disadvantage of this salad is the high sodium content. Other than sodium, this could be an excellent choice for a person looking for a little more fat in their diet because the saturated fat content is low compared to the large part of the other menu. Options. "

Signature Sandwiches + Paninis

You may have heard conflicting ideas about whether the fish is good for you and, although it is true that mercury intake is definitely something to watch, fish is a nutritional source ofomega 3 fats. Tuna, in particular, nutrition benefits as a reduction in blood pressure.

"Tuna is an excellent source of omega-3 greases, which are cardiac protective. The tuna is also high inpotassium, a mineral that can help reduce blood pressure, "says Fitzgerald." Need a boost of immunity? The tuna is great for that because it is rich in manganese antioxidants, zinc,vitamin Cand selenium. "

With tuna, celery, red onion, basil, green onion, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, harvest bread, this dish also contains 15 grams of Proteins, which should fill you and satisfy you longer.

"Associate these benefits with a fairly balanced nutrition profile, and it's not surprising that this is on the" best "list," adds Fitzgerald.

WOAH - It's a lot of sodium. The rustic Italian panini has Salami, Pepperoni, ham, provolonne and roasted tomatoes with a pesto vinaigrette on leaven. With all that this meat processed, it is not surprising that sodium levels are not high.

"The amount of sodium in that makes me crows. YIKES!" Kostro Miller said. "Remember that Americans limit their sodium consumption to 2 3,000 milligrams a day."

Although the sodium level is rossed, it also has a lot of calories. Of course, calories are not all, but if you are actively trying to lose weight, this panini will only make your size.

"Since this sandwich has more than 1,000 calories, take into account, especially if you try to lose weight," says Kostro Miller. "In addition, this sandwich has several types ofultra-transformed meats Like Salami and Pepperoni. More and more research shows that ultra-transformed meat consumption can increase your risk of chronic disease. "

Pasta

If you are not sure what Cavatapi is, it is a macaroni in the shape of a corkscrew, and in this particular dish, it is associated with the sauce of Marinara and Parmesan.

"It's areally simple pasta dish, "Kostro Miller said." While it is lower in calories, sodium and saturated grease that the other [Options], I want it to be thrown with lean vegetables or proteins for additional nutrition. "

"Tons of sodium, many calories and a lot of saturated fat with this pasta dish", explains Kostro Miller. Pretty told right there!

But another thing to consider - especially with pasta dishes - is the size of the portion of a restaurant meal. Kostro Miller recommends fracturing this dish in two meals (hello,Leftovers!) Or share with someone athe Lady and the Tramp.

Soup + Chile

While the small amount of calories landed tomato soup and roasted basil (the version of the cup, not a bowl) on the "best" list, it should be noted that many soups can be rich in sodium. This one is really not exceptional, although it is better than other sodium levels that we have seen so far in the corner bakery menu.

"Although it is significantly lighter than Chile [below],like most soupsHe has a considerable amount of sodium, "said Kostro Miller." As it has only 3 grams of protein, think about how you can add a few more protein to your meal to keep you longer. "

Ways to add proteins could include legumes, beans or even agrilled cheese With a lot of protein cheese such as Colby, Edam or Non-Gras Cheddar.

Fitzgerald adds that tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene.

"Enjoying a cup of this soup of tomato basil, with a meal or a small snack, is a super simple and tasty solution to make a day of lycopene ... Lycopene is an antioxidant that has been sought and shown to reduce the Risk of heart disease and certain cancers, "she says.

WhileChili is rich in protein andBeans filled with fibersThis particular dish also has a lot of cholesterol and a lot of sodium.

"Many people consider Chile as aACCOMPANYING PLATEBut as it has 900 calories, it may need to be your main meal point, "Kostro Miller said." A good thing is that she has a lot of fiber to keep you really full! "

Fitzgerald recommends dividing this dish into two and associating them with aspinach salad For a more balanced nutrition. After all, green greens are full of vitamins and nutrients, adding them so are never a bad idea.

Bakery

A classic dessert stapler, bakery bakery chocolate cookie is by far one of the desserts with the least calories, sodium or sugar.

"Unless aCookie with chocolate chips is mega-sized, cookies can be an easier way to enjoy the dessert in a smaller portion, "adds Fitzgerald." At half of the nutrition compared to the Pecan Bar, this could be a tasty choice if you are in the mood of chocolate. ! "

Maple. Pecan nuts. These two words can look natural and therefore "good for you", but in reality, the corner bakery maple bar is one of the worst options in the dessert category.

"With nearly 700 calories, this dessert is like another meal in itself," Kostro Miller said. "Try to divide this dessert or share with another person."

"A good rule is to keep" Fun Foods "like desserts, sodas, chips, a junk food, at 100-200 calories a day" adds Kostro Miller.
