Their wraps and combos are full meals and pretty tasty. Kinda like a cheaper, better version of Pump that I'll actually eat.</p> <p>And dubs, kwik meal is NOT healthy!!! Maybe if you leave out the sauces, the rice, and the meat.... </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/what-are-the-best-healthy-midtown-options/page/2#post-1648 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:55:55 -0500 Leeroy 1648@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Along the lines of Pump I think, but Energy Kitchen (41st and 2nd) is quite good IMO. It's a little pricey at around $11 for a combo (burger and 2 sides), but when I've eaten there, I've been full enough that dinner is minimal. Kool Bloo on 2nd and 39th also has some healthy-ish options on the menu (also pretty expensive though). </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/what-are-the-best-healthy-midtown-options/page/2#post-1615 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:29:19 -0500 LN 1615@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>For healthy food...</p> <p>I also go to Dishes when I'm in the splurge-for-healthy-food mood.</p> <p>Cavonberry is also expensive like Dishes, and healthy.</p> <p>Sometimes I go to Cucina in the MetLife building.</p> <p>Hale and Hearty when I want soup.

Crisp and Dishes make healthy flavorful stuff and Pump ain't bad (although they put health waayyy ahead of flavor). Generic buffets are always options for just about anything - that's why they're generic buffets. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/what-are-the-best-healthy-midtown-options#post-1529 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:16:07 -0500 adamprato 1529@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Sandra - yeah pump is, and not particularly tasty either (but filling, and with good low-glycemic carbs).</p> <p>I'm not even sure how to gauge low salt other than preparing stuff on your own. Unfortunately most places oversalt things so that they taste better. I'm pretty sure Pump was low in salt though :)</p> <p>Again, perhaps the generic midtown buffet is an option, if they have roasted meats. I'd assume since the salt would only be on the outside. Steamed chinese food with the sauce on the side would be another option. </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/what-are-the-best-healthy-midtown-options#post-1527 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 12:07:50 -0500 sandra 1527@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>Pump is good, but SOOOO overpriced. Talk about taking advantage of people who are trying to be healthy.</p> <p>Here's a tough one - what are your midtown lunch options if you're trying to cut back on salt? This pretty much rules out all fast food, ethnic food, cart food, etc. Are you essentially reduced to eating lettuce? </p> http://midtownlunch.com/forums/topic/what-are-the-best-healthy-midtown-options#post-1526 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:51:20 -0500 Yvo 1526@http://midtownlunch.com/forums/ <p>There are CARBS in corn starch?!

I always thought the chicken over rice or even combo over rice at kwik meal was pretty healthy. Go easy on that white sauce and rice. It seems zach is saying the white sauce is yogurt based, so maybe it's not so bad for you.</p> <p>Otherwise maybe pick-a-pita for that spicy chicken shwarma platter and go easy on the pita and tahini? </p>
