What are Smart Meals®?
Thank you for inquiring about Smart Meals®. We are proud to tell you we've been serving Houston healthy food since 1994. Our food is prepared with careful consideration to calories, fat and portion control. We hand trim each piece of poultry, use the freshest ingredients and put our heart and soul into providing you with a meal that will both meet your dietary guidelines and be delicious at the same time. We offer two basic sizes: 4-ounce portion of protein and a 6-8 ounce portion; these amounts are weights after cooking. The carbohydrates are measured in 1 cup portions for the larger and one size only meals and 3/4 cup of carbohydrates for the smaller portions. Smart Meals® follows the fitness philosophy of eating by offering the correct portion of lean protein, carbohydrate and fat to guarantee weight loss or weight maintenance. Because we work with many dietitians and certified nutritionists, we feel we offer the best and safest option for your weight loss goal. Be careful of plans which guarantee more than a 1-2 pound loss per week, most of those plans are geared for water loss and muscle loss. For more information, Smart Meals® can refer you to a nutrition expert in Houston.
Calories and Nutritional Information
We do provide an estimate of calories, fat, carbohydrates and protein for Smart Meals®. These figures are based on several items which have been analyzed at Silliker Laboratories in Chicago and also on stats from a nutritional computer program. Keep in mind the numbers can vary some as most programs don't take into consideration our extra effort of trimming the fat from your food and can only offer an average stat on that item. Our preparation process goes above and beyond as we carefully hand trim each piece of chicken breast and beef tenderloin. Smart Meals® does not use ground turkey, instead we use turkey tenderloin which is the leanest part of the turkey breast. We also use extra lean Springerhill ground sirloin for many items on the menu. This product is only available for sale at Smart Meals or Randall's Grocery Store (not all their stores.) Finally, please note Smart Meals® does use a variety of fresh herbs, spices and seasoning; we do have some low sodium items but most items have had salt added in the cooking process. |
