If you are headed to “The Bell” soon, you will be happy to know they have updated their nutrition guide and they boast about having an (unarguably impressive) “27 items under 10 grams of fat” and that they now “use zero grams trans fat canola oil”. The guide is listed in their website for you to check out.

The vegetarian fast food items they carry include:

• 1/2 lb cheesy bean & rice burrito
• mexican rice
• pinto’s n cheese
• bean burrito
• cheesy fiesta potatoes
• cheese quesadilla.
• dessert items include cinammon twists and a caramel empanada

Now you can enjoy them with less fat than ever, “Say Fresco” is a new diet helper they are introducing wherein you request that they replace “cheese and sauce” with “Fietsa Salsa” (diced tomatoes, white onions, and cilantro) and “you can reduce the fat by 25% on most menu items”, including the vegetarian items i mentioned above. They also have a hotline you can call to ask any questions you have about their product ingredients or nutritional content. The hotline number is 1-800-822-6235.
