Nutrtiton at Tim Hortons

While travelling up to Northern Ontario, I like to stop at one of the many Tim Hortons along the way. I was happy to learn that a Nutrition Guide is now available at these popular eating places.

A detailed chart provides information on the serving size, calories, protein, fat, and vitamin content of the different snacks and baked goods. I also liked the following helpful hints:
  • Try a soup that is low in fat like Chicken Noodle.
  • Low Fat muffins contain only 2.5 grams of fat.
  • Any size Iced Cappuccino made with milk or chocolate milk contains less than 2.5 grams of fat.
  • Bran and whole wheat muffins are high in fibre.
  • Yogurt and berries is a source of calcium.
  • Order a Breakfast Sandwich on a low-fat bagel like Wheat 'N Honey.
  • Three filled or yeast Timbits contain fewer than 200 calories.
  • Try 2% milk or 1% chocolate milk instead of cream in your beverage.
