Diet Disasters Delivered

Some of the latest delivery offerings would inspire fear in even the staunchest pizza fans. Everyone knows that gooey, meaty, cheesy pizza is bad for your health and your diet, with astronomical fat and calorie counts. But keep an eye out for some new heavy hitters that'll make a deep dent in your dieting efforts. Domino's newest menu offerings will bowl you over when you see the fat, calories and sodium they contain. Pasta served in a bread bowl sounds like a high-carb nightmare - and it is - but the carbs aren't what's scary about these dishes. The 3-Cheese Mac-N-Cheese bowl contains a whopping 1,460 calories and maxes out the recommended sodium intake of 2,500 milligrams per day. The Chicken Alfredo bowl is only slightly better, clocking in at 1,460 calories and 2,100 milligrams of sodium.
Both dishes top 50 grams of fat, again maxing out the recommended daily allowance. The tricky fine print in both these dishes each count as TWO servings. Another deceptive dish on Domino's menu is the Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan sandwich. "Baked" means healthful, right? And all that marinara's got to be a good thing... But this sammie contains 30 grams of fat and 766 calories. Rival Pizza Hut also offers pasta, but you won't find any diet breaks on their menu, either. Each pasta tray serves four, and not surprisingly, the chicken alfredo option is the big winner - or loser - when it comes to calories, fat and sodium. Again, just 1/4 of that pan will set you back 620 calories and 32 grams of fat. When a pasta craving strikes, save calories and cash by investing in a good, whole-grain pasta and veggie-heavy pasta sauce.
