Costa Vida is a great place for delicious Mexican food. If you like to eat there then you’re in luck, because they have many healthy options to choose from. Costa Vida also has a handy calculator on their website that will help you to figure out the nutrition facts for anything you can order. All that you have to do is click on a menu item, click on what foods you want included for that item, and then click the add item to your meal option.
As an example, I chose a burrito with black beans, a flour tortilla, shredded beef and salsa fresca. This came out to be 678 calories with 23 grams of fat, 76 grams of carbohydrates, 3.5 grams of fiber and 37 grams of protein. That looks like a good choice for Brian, but there is one thing that he should consider changing. A whole wheat tortilla is usually the better option, if you can get it. If he needs more calories than he can add sour cream which has a good amount of fat and calories. Guacamole is an even better choice, because it has less saturated fat than sour cream. Salsa is typically very healthy and should be included if you like the taste.
