POPULAR AT THE CAF: MADE-TO-ORDER FAJITAS
PROS: Beef strips are rich in protein, and peppers are loaded with antioxidants and vitamin C. The fajitas are rolled in whole-wheat tortillas and topped with salsa and light sour cream.
CONS: Seasoning the beef will increase the sodium in the dish, warns Stacey Segal, a registered dietitian with Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children. Since salsa adds so much flavour, go easy on the salt.
IMPACT: Since beef is packed with protein, which slows digestion, students who order fajitas will stay full longer, Reza says. Grumbling stomachs won’t interfere with their post-lunch classes.
