Day 44 – Lunch
This afternoon, a coworker wanted to have lunch together. I kinda stepped in and decided on Bellacino’s Pizza and Grinders. For those not “in the know” Bellacino’s is a franchise with several locations throughout St. Louis. They specialize in pizza and “grinders”… basically baked subs. When I lived in St. Charles, it was a reglar place of dining for me. At least once, maybe twice a week, I’d stop in and pick up a grinder and some wings for dinner. They’ve always had some of the most amazing food, and I’ve always been impressed with their overall value. A few months back, we discovered there was a location not too far from the office, but we haven’t gone nearly as much as I’d like to have. Last week, when looking for something new, I decided to check their menu for nutritional information. From previous visits, I was aware of the fact that they had a “lite” menu, but couldn’t remember what the options were. I discovered that they had several sandwiches and pastas that really were not bad overall as far as calories went. Last week, I tried the Lasagna which came in at a pretty nice 770 calories. Seeing my coworkers working down the grinders, I knew that’s where my hea
rt was, and vowed I would get the lite grinders next time. Today was that chance. I decided to go for the roast beef lite grinder. It’s basically roast beef, lite mayo, fat free mozerella, lettuce and tomato all on a piece of french bread. While it wasn’t as good as some of their other grinder offerings, it was still pretty good, especially for the amount of calories: 607 total. I also decided to have a side salad to go with it in order to get some additional veggies in and to help fill up. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I recommend anyone stop in for a bite or two. Now I’ve just gotta figure out what to have for dinner…
