Kids #EatFresh at Subway – Study Shows A Healthy On the Go Option ($40 Subway Giveaway)

Kids #EatFresh at Subway – Study Shows A Healthy On the Go Option ($40 Subway Giveaway)

By: Ashley

I received a gift card for this post. All opinions are my own.

I am a Subway fan, and I have been for awhile. You want to know the funny thing? During both of my pregnancies, it’s been one of my biggest cravings! I know you’re supposed to stay away from deli meat, so I always get chicken or make sure they super toast my sandwich. It makes me feel good to know that I can order something freshly made, not fried, and healthy. I know everyone’s definition of “healthy” is different, but for me it means up front ingredients, something without grease, and something that has the option for some green veggies. I try really hard to make great choices for myself, and try even harder to make great choices for my kids. That’s why the results of a recent study on kids’ meals leaves me feeling pretty good about choosing Subway.

The Center for Science in Public Interest recently released the results of a study Kids’ Meals: Obesity and Poor Nutrition on the Menu. This study looked at the options on the kids’ menu at 50 of the nation’s top chain restaurants. The government recommends that children (ages 4 to 10) get between 1200 and 2200 calories a day. Unfortunately, most chain kids’ meals are high in saturated fat and many were over 1000 calories.

The National Restaurant Association actually has a voluntary Kids LiveWell menu standard. According to an article in USA Today, the LiveWell menu standard says, “healthy kids’ meals have 600 calories or less, get 35% or less of their calories from total fat and total sugar, have no more than 770 mg. sodium, and also meet other nutrition criteria. The standards emphasize lean protein, fruits, vegetables, whole-grain and low-fat dairy products.” ALL of Subway’s Fresh Fit kid’s meals (each include 4” sub, apple slices, and low-fat milk or bottled water) met this standard! I have to admit that usually I let my son grab the fruit juice instead of the milk which does add some calories, but he usually drinks water, so I think the special juice treat is okay. He also prefers his sub a little deconstructed, but what kid doesn’t?

Committing To Eating Fresh

June 14, 2011 by Momstart Leave a Comment

Being busy busy busy all the time, I will and often admit here on MomStart that I will cut corners and buy processed foods. I use yogurt dip, spreadable cheese, and packaged cookies. I can’t do it all you know. That being said, my family goals this last year have required me to eat more fresh foods. I cook more home made meals, and buy fresh organic fruits and veggies at Costco. Costco has the largest best priced selection for our family when it comes to year round fresh organic food. However, now that it’s summer time the farmer’s markets will be open and I can’t wait to take the kids and let them pick out their own fruits and veggies. Zoe has even asked me if we could go to a farm and pick our own berries. It’s quite common in Washington to fill a bucket with your own freshly picked fruit.

You may not know this, but a year ago I was chosen to be on the Frigidaire Test Drive program, and because of my affiliation with that program, Frigidaire keeps me informed on their activities and charity projects. Frigidaire has been working with Jennifer Garner (my favorite actress who I have not had the pleasure of meeting, but look forward to that opportunity one day in my dreams) on their Frigidaire Kids Cooking Academy Summer Session. On June 9th they headed out to Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in Pocantico Hills, NY to encourage families to eat more fresh foods.

Because many children in the world do not have access to fresh food, Frigidaire is continuing their support with Save the Children’s U.S. Programs. To help give more children access to fresh foods, Frigidaire is unveiling a partnership with the location-based “chec in” app, Gowalla. Anytime someone checks in at their local Farmer’s Market via the app, Frigidaire will make a $1 donation to Save the Children, as part of their $500,000 commitment to the cause.

And anytime you make a commitment to eat fresh at MakeTimeForChange.com you will trigger another donation AND this is a big and, be entered to win a new Frigidaire Gallery French Door Refrigerator.

 

Disclosure: I received compensation from Frigidaire with no expectations for me to post about it, I chose to post about it because I strongly believe families should try harder to “Freshen” up their diets.
