Pie in the sky

Posted on Oct 2nd 2008 7:30PM by Chris Sparling
Pies are unhealthy. They're high in calories, sugar, carbs, and saturated and trans fats. But what if you replace the usual fruity goodness inside with chicken and mixed vegetables and called it a Pot Pie (funny, I don't remember these from college. Brownies, yeah, but pies, no)? Would it then be considered healthy?

I'm sure there's a very roundabout way to make a chicken pot pie healthy, but your average, run-of-the-mill version that you get from the grocery store is a dietary nightmare. Case in point: Marie Callender's Chicken Pot Pie.

Maximum Fitness magazine recently listed this dish as being among one of the worst foods you can eat. With a whopping 1,060 calories, 62 grams of fat (22g of which being sat. fat), and 1,600mg of sodium, eating just one of these leaves you little room for the remainder of the day in terms of suggested total caloric, fat, and sodium consumption.
