Vegetable quiche may sound like a healthy vegetarian option, but is it? Take a closer look at the nutritional facts with Herbalife Nutrition Expert, Susan Bowerman. Find out why vegetable quiche may not be as nutritious as you may think!
Vegetable quiche may sound like a nutritious dish because it has vegetables and eggs in it but, it often contains cheese, cream, butter and oil. Take a closer look at the nutritional facts. This serving of vegetable quiche has:
- 490 calories
- 30g of fat
- 900 milligrams of sodium
That’s the same amount of calories, fat and sodium that you’d get if you ate five fried chicken strips! Another thing to consider is, when you eat quiche, you usually pair it with other foods like toast, potatoes, and orange juice. Those extra food items could top your meal at 1,000 calories or more. Next time you head out to brunch consider what foods you’re adding to your plate. Just because a dish contains vegetables in it, it doesn’t make it the healthiest option.
