Healthy junk food: Ways to cut the calories in the most unlikely situations

Save for alienating yourself from family and friends and never leaving your house, there are some situations you’ll find yourself in where junk food is the only choice you’ve got.

At a ballpark or stuffed inside a vending machine are snacks that contain half your daily calories. And forget about the movie theater where the popcorn buckets are as big as your head.

So how do you stay social without blowing your diet? Local nutritionists say it all comes down to smart choices.

Ballparks

As the clock winds down to halftime or the seventh-inning stretch at a baseball, basketball or football game, you may be sitting in the bleachers craving an icy soda and a hot dog with all the trimmings. Wrong!

Kandi Perazzo: Go for a grilled chicken sandwich (approximately 260 calories, 5 grams fat), a plain hot dog (242 calories, 18 grams fat), soft pretzel (340 calories, 2 grams fat) or a plain hamburger (275 calories, 31 grams fat). Order extra pickles to fill up, if you’re hungry, a tip Perazzo got from hungry-girl.com . Stay away from the funnel cake which packs up to 760 calories. Whitney Butler: A soft pretzel is lower in fat than any meat option and a turkey dog is lower in saturated fat than its counterparts. “Bring your own vegetable sticks rather than buying chips,” Butler suggests. Opt for water over soda. Jennifer Doane: Split larger items and get the grilled chicken wrap over the hot dog. “The french fries, nachos and saucy fried foods get you. Even a small ice cream would probably be better than loaded fries.” Christine Southwick: “Try to eat something before you go to the game so you will not be as hungry during the outing.” Southwick suggests veggie burgers and turkey burgers in addition to the aforementioned choices, but warns customers to watch out for the toppings. “Stick to low-fat items such as ketchup, mustard or relish.” If you’re in the mood for a snack, try peanuts (a good source of protein and fiber), pretzels without the salt or low-fat frozen yogurt. Vending machines
The 3 p.m. slump hits. You’re hungry, but there’s a mountain of work on your desk and you don’t have the time to dash across town. For a pocketful of change you can get some sustenance and a whole lot of calories, if you’re not careful.

The Benefits Of Stretch Wrappers For Shipping Products ...

Pallets that are hand-unitized and loosely stacked can shift and topple in transit, damaging the product. Rain, snow, and other weather elements can destroy packaging and ruin the contents. Companies can minimize these issues and lower their costs with stretch wrapping machines and protective stretch film.

Forward-thinking companies recognize the benefits of purchasing stretch wrapping equipment. Stretch wrappers improve pallet load handling, increase worker efficiency, and raise workplace safety. Most of all, they help ensure that the company’s products arrive safely at their destination.

Stretch wrapping provides superior protection for a company’s products. Stretch wrap loads are more secure; opaque films conceal contents; stretch films protect the contents from dirt, dust, and moisture; and UVI films protect products from UV rays.

The highly elastic, protective stretch film used with stretch wrapping machines can replace more expensive pallet packaging, like strapping, corrugated wrap, and heat shrink film. And pallet wrap film is recyclable and there is and increasing variety of bio degradable hand wrap and machine wrap films to consider. Being able to choose eco friendlier options is certainly important in these times of thinking green.

But the key to an efficient and cost-effective pallet wrapping system is the machine itself.

Lantech is the industry leader in wrapping pallets. The company’s founder, Pat Lancaster, invented the first turntable stretch wrapper in the early 1970s. Twenty years later, the company transformed into a Lean enterprise, dedicated to creating more value with less.

Lantech produces several; high quality, cost-effective pallet wrapping machines. General purpose stretch wrappers are designed for most pallet loads. Overhead straddle models are ideal for liquids and corrosive materials. Horizontal models are custom-built for heavy loads. Many factors need to be considered when looking to buy a pallet wrapping system to ensure it meets operations unique needs, application and goals.

The typical general purpose stretch wrapper customers wrap less than 100 loads per day. Their loads are irregular shaped, and the company uses a forklift or pallet jack to load the stretch wrapper.

Overhead straddle stretch wrappers are designed for tall, lightweight, and unstable loads. They can also be used for products too heavy to rotate on a turntable system. The typical customer wraps up to 100 loads per hour.
