Mustard, A Good Condiment24Apr08

Submitted by Louis Moore’s Build a Better Body Blog

Every time I go to a Subway Restaurant, I take notice of how so many people add on a lot of unhealthy condiments to their sandwiches. Many of these people think they are ordering a healthy meal, but they ruin it by adding mayonnaise and other creamy spreads to their food.

However, mustard,is one condiment which is low in calories (about 4 to 10 calories per teaspoon) and virtually no fat. The different varieties include brown, yellow, spicy, smooth and coarse. Be adventurous, try Dijon, Parisian, and stoneground varieties, as well as those with added herbs for great taste.

Be aware that sweet mustards, such as honey mustard,have much more calories. Around 30 - 40 per teaspoon, so use sparingly.
